Young Iranian Students shot in crotch & head by BASIJIS
The Basij — also Bassij or Baseej, (literally "Mobilization of the Oppressed);" and officially Nirouye Moqavemate Basij ("Mobilisation Resistance Force— is a volunteer-based Iranian paramilitary force founded by the order of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on November 1979. The Basij are subordinate to, and receive their orders from, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Originally consisting of those males "either too crippled or old for regular military service," the Basij are perhaps most famous for providing the volunteers that made up the human wave attacks against the Iraqis during the Iran–Iraq War, particularly around Basra. Currently Basij serve as an auxiliary force engaged in activities such as law enforcement, emergency management, the providing of social service, organizing of public religious ceremonies, and more controversially morals policing and the suppression of dissident gatherings. They have a local organization in almost every city in Iran |
