A mother of two has been left paraplegic after being shot by Iranian police over an alleged violation of the country's strict hijab rules, a source with knowledge of the case has told the BBC.

"She is paralysed from the waist down, and doctors have said it will take months to determine whether she will be permanently paraplegic or not."

Arezoo Badri, 31, was driving home with her sister in the northern city of Noor on 22 July when police attempted to pull her over to confiscate her car.

The driver did not comply with the order to stop, prompting the officers to shoot, the police commander in Noor told Iran's state-run news agency, without naming Ms Badri.

The incident comes after Iranian police announced a clampdown on women defying the nation's compulsory dress code.

Why the fuck do you have to make this about the US? Are you incapable of commenting on atrocities in other countries without a US centric worldview?

It's quite an irony, isn't it? In trying to constantly bring up US problems, you've adopted a worldview where only the US matters.

Because the majority of idiots on here have no idea how the rest of the world operates. They see an article like this and do not connect the dots.

You're brainwashed.

And now you've graduated to someone who says the vast majority are idiots who can't see the truth and don't connect the dots.

Now you're not only someone who's incapable of thinking about anything other than America, you're also a conspiracy nut.
