A 19-year-old woman who was wounded by Iranian paramilitary forces with clubs escaped with her camera and shared her photos with CNN -- after tricking a paramilitary soldier into thinking she had given him the images on a disk.

She was walking to Freedom Square in Tehran with a group of fellow demonstrators, but the Basij -- voluntary paramilitary forces that answer to the government -- wouldn't let them get through, she said.

"He hit me and he was twice [as big] as me -- he was so big. And I said, 'You want to hit me?' And he said, 'Yes' and then he hit me with a club."

At one point when she was in her car, a member of the Basij stopped her and tried to get her photos, she said. But she tricked him, giving him an empty memory card while keeping the one that held the images.

She said her father, after learning of all that had transpired, said to her, "I'm so lucky that you're alive."
