As anti-hijab protests rage on in Iran, security forces, who have brutally cracked down on demonstrators with batons and handcuffs, are reportedly targeting unarmed women with shotgun fire to their faces, breasts and genitals, a report said.
The “birdshot pellets” which security forces fired on protesters from close range targeted women’s faces, breasts and genitals, The Guardian reported, citing medics who treated the bullet wounds. Images accessed by the US media outlet showed people with dozens of tiny “shot” balls lodged deep in their flesh. But men were shot in their legs, buttocks, and backs.
