The shooting occurred on July 22 in Mazandaran province when Badri allegedly attempted to evade police who were ordered to impound her car due to a previous headscarf violation.

Officers first fired at the vehicle's tires before shooting into the car, resulting in injuries to Badri's lung and spine, according to Human Rights Activists in Iran.

The incident comes nearly two years after Mahsa Amini's death in police custody over a headscarf violation, which sparked nationwide protests resulting in over 500 deaths and 22,000 detentions.

Iranian authorities are holding Badri under tight security at a police hospital in Tehran, restricting family visits and photo documentation of her condition.

Iran recently intensified its hijab enforcement through the Noor Plan, utilizing Chinese surveillance technology to track women driving without headscarves.

Law enforcement followed proper protocol by first attempting to stop the vehicle with tinted windows, issuing warning shots, and targeting the tires before taking further action against a non-compliant suspect.
