Rezvan Moghaddam, an influential leader for women’s rights in Iran, asked me to share this information on the blog (and here is a full article she wrote about acid throwing in Iran):

Sohila is a 26-year-old Iranian law student who loves to read. She is a victim of an acid attack. She was attacked and sprayed with acid on 9 October 20014, at 6 pm, in the streets of Bozorgmehr,  by a man on a motorcycle wearing a helmet who was accompanied by cars in the front and rear (a white Pikan and a black Pejot).

In November 2014 , she had an unsuccessful eye surgery. Sohila’s  mother asks, “What was the crime of my daughter? Why she is a  victim of this outrageous act?”

Sohila and her mother asked women’s rights defenders to support her for surgery.

Sohila is just one of the victim targeted by Islamic fundamentalism because she was not wearing Hejab. Her father said: the world should not forget these victims, women’rights defenders should be their voice.
