Iran Human Rights on Friday released its statistical analysis of eye injuries sustained during the crackdown on the recent protests. After cross-referencing the injuries with the list of protest-related fatalities, the organization concluded: "The firing upon women's faces and eyes by repressive forces has been highly systematic and deliberate."

Within Iran, the organization said, about 9% of the fatalities were women, yet women accounted for 28% of the eye injuries. In some areas, however, like Mahabad in West Azerbaijan province, 15% of the protesters killed were women, while they made up 56% of protester eye injuries.

The organization’s “analysis shows that the brutal crimes committed during the protests by the Regime in Iran were planned, coordinated and calculated,” Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, director of Iran Human Rights, wrote in the report. “The regime in Iran leader, Ali Khamenei, and all the perpetrators of such crimes must be held accountable.”
