Iranian protesters say eyes are being deliberately shot at - but even the blinded show defiance.
Persian social media is full of young people who say they were shot in the eye by security forces
"The sound of the eyes is louder than any scream," reads Ghazal's personal statement in Persian on Instagram.She has recently posted new photos of herself. They could be mistaken for a fashion shoot until you look a little closer. Ghazal has been fitted with a prosthetic eye, and she has written about her struggle to accept it. She said she got used to the wound on her face, and even felt proud of it, and that going through plastic surgery was agonising.'Living proof'Such was the fear of being arrested in hospital, some protesters were too scared to seek medical aid at all.
Dr Mohammad Jafar Ghaempanah is one of nearly 400 ophthalmologists, or eye doctors, who have signed an official letter, urging the authorities to give more support to the injured."Until the end of their life, this young person will be living proof of Iran's crackdown," he said in a video which has also gone viral.
