Kosar Eftekhari's eye injury is now evidence, showcasing the brutality and criminality of the Islamic Republic of Iran against its people.
Twenty-four-year-old Kosar Eftekhari is living proof of the violent oppression in Iran.
“The Islamic Republic shot me in the eye and took my sight,” she said.
Eftekhari was a theatre actress in Iran, who took to the streets in October 2022 after the in-custody death of Mahsa Jina Amini.
Eftekhari was protesting in Tehran on Oct. 12 when she said an Islamic Republic security agent targeted her eye with a rubber bullet. More than 580 protesters were blinded in the first six months after the uprisings began according to the news agency Iranwire. She has been blind in one eye ever since.
