The source told the International Campaing for Human Rights in Iran that Evin, 17, was a passenger in the car along with her fiancé, and her brother was driving. About 500 meters before reaching their village of Encile, her brother, the driver, stopped the car. Three plainclothes anti-smuggling police officers approached the car and struck it with a weapon, the source said. The driver, thinking they were being attacked by bandits, started driving away from the officers, who then shot at the car from 30 feet away, injuring Evin Osmani.
