Medics treating protesters in Iran said they were seeing a difference in the type of injuries inflicted on men and women by the security forces — with the female activists often being shot in their faces, breasts and genitals..
multiple doctors and nurses who have been surreptitiously caring for wounded demonstrators during months of unrest said it appeared that officers tasked with stopping the protests have been targeting specific body parts in women.
One doctor from Isfahan province speaking to the outlet on condition of anonymity said he believed the authorities “wanted to destroy the beauty of these women.”
Iran has been roiled by violent protests since Sept. 16, when a 22-year-old Kurdish Iranian woman named Mahsa Amini died while in the custody of the morality police after being detained for allegedly wearing her hijab “improperly.”
So far, more than 475 people have been killed in the unrest and over 18,000 have been detained by government forces as part of a brutal crackdown on the popular movement, which was spearheaded by women and girls fed up with the ayatollahs’ draconian rule.
Iranian authorities reportedly have been firing on demonstrators at close — sometimes point-blank — range with birdshot pellets made of metal or plastic. Doctors said shots to the eyes were particularly common.
...
Another doctor from the city of Karaj suggested that the security forces “shoot at the faces and private body parts of women because they have an inferiority complex and they want to get rid of their sexual complexes by hurting these young people.”
There also have been hundreds of reports of protesters being blinded by pellets shot into their eyes.

They’re effing monsters
Sounds like a weekend in Chicago.
No, it doesn’t
That was just sick.
Crime in Chicago is sick.
yes it does.
Please...and no "Deal".
Have you seen heyjackass.com’s shot-in-the-junk-o-meter?
Wow that’s some website. A person is shot every 2.4 hours in Shitcago, 77.9% are black. Let me guess: Nobody from BLM is protesting.
I would not be shocked by what radical Islamists do. Is this another, or the next call, for American intervention?
We have innocent people being abused and tortured in the DC gulag. People who are being used as political pawns and are held in purposeful squalor. People given rigged trials, with rigged evidence, and denied needed medical treatments.
Misery abounds all over the world right now. Satan is running things.
No doubt the NOW will be right on this.
Not good people, the Iranian government. So strange that the Democrats prefer them to the Saudis. The Saudis are not great either, but at least you can deal with them.
Government sanctioned misogyny.
The top powers are determined to live under 7th Century sharia rules, but the. less powerful wishes to join the western world shown to them via internet. They know life can be about more than the endurance of suffering.
Anyone opposing the death penalty, raise your hand.
Iran , what a country
If I live to be a thousand years old, I will never never
understand why feminists around the world, especially in the USA supported the overthrown of the Shah of Iran.
The people of Iran have the government their parents and grandparents rioted for back in 1979.
I still remember when the Shah fled, and Ayatollah Khomeini landed in Iran. The people were so thrilled that they mobbed him, and just the touch of his hand sent them into fits of ecstasy.
When he died, in sorrow they threw themselves on his bier causing it to be dropped to the ground and his his body rolled on the ground.
Be careful what you ask for. You just might get it, and the Iranian people have gotten it for the last forty three years good and hard. But remember, it is what they wanted!
And the Xiden Administration will do NOTHING. Just like newly elected Ubama in his tenure when the younger Iranians protested and clamored for external support. More than likely, Biden will say the same thing that Ubama did, “it’s Iran’s internal problems we won’t meddle in.”
Feminism is not about the rights of women any more ... hijacked by the Marxist Left.
Feminism is a scam.. It is not about uplifting women. It is about tearing women down. ~Candace Owens.
