A woman in Babol was attacked with acid on Wednesday, November 1, according to Harana News Agency. The incident occurred in the Amir Kabir area of Babol. The suspects were arrested by law enforcement forces shortly thereafter. As of the time of this report, the reasons behind this act are not yet known.
Acid, despite having a limited market demand, is easily accessible in Iran, and the absence of comprehensive preventive legislation has allowed the heinous crime of "acid spraying" to persist.
