Amid rising public anger and hatred against the regime’s security forces for shooting a mother (Sanaz Mohammadian) in her car, Col. Mohsen Dalvand blamed the victim while claiming: “The driver of the car fled the scene as soon as he saw a police patrol… and after about a kilometer, he was stopped by our colleagues and the woman who was the driver’s wife was shot.”

Contrary to these blatant lies, the widow driver of the car, whose wife was killed, said: “Why did you shoot us when the car stopped? Why did you shoot us at all? What did we do? They claim they were looking for robbers. Where in the world is a robber going to rob with his wife and kid? Do robbers stop at the intersection so that the police can get out of his car and take the gun from his soldier and shoot at them from close range?”
