A 31-year-old mother who was shot by police while driving with her husband in Noor, Mazandaran province, for allegedly not wearing proper hijab. She was left paralyzed from the waist down. The incident occurred when police attempted to stop their vehicle for a "hijab violation," and when they did not immediately comply, officers opened fire.
