Iranian forces shooting at faces and genitals of female protesters, medics say
Source: The Guardian/US
Iranian security forces are targeting women at anti-regime protests with shotgun fire to their faces, breasts and genitals, according to interviews with medics across the country.
Doctors and nurses treating demonstrators in secret to avoid arrest said they first observed the practice after noticing that women often arrived with different wounds to men, who more commonly had shotgun pellets in their legs, buttocks and backs.
While an internet blackout has hidden much of the bloody crackdown on protesters, photos provided by medics to the Guardian showed devastating wounds all over their bodies from so-called birdshot pellets, which security forces have fired on people at close range. Some of the photos showed people with dozens of tiny shot balls lodged deep in their flesh.
The Guardian has spoken to 10 medical professionals who warned about the seriousness of the injuries that could leave hundreds of young Iranians with permanent damage. Shots to the eyes of women, men and children were particularly common, they said.

So sorry there is such hatred toward women.
Iran has a long way to go.
I recommend taking a look at the photos in this story.

be subdued, controlled and punished to the nth degree.
And how can boys who grow up with a mother, grandmothers, aunts, sisters even believe this propaganda?

There've been calls for charges against him in Chile - but when you have God's unlisted phone number...
