Direct shooting with rubber, plastic, and paintball bullets at the bodies of protesters was one of the parts of widespread and systematic government repression during the revolutionary uprising of Jin, Jiyan, Azadi And in response to protests in Kurdistan and Iran.

Shooting a large number of rubber bullets, especially at the face, chest, and sensitive parts of the body or from close range at the bodies of protesters and citizens caused serious and long-term injuries to them; It shows well the systematic and engineered repression by the Islamic Republic and shows that the suppressive forces had an order to shoot without limit.
