Photographs of Iran’s Feared Basiji Special Forces
The following images were sent to me by a friend taken over the last few days. They show the feared Basiji militiamen, a volunteer-based paramilitary organization that takes orders from the revolutionary guard and is traditionally dispatched to deal with mass dissidence. My friend emphasized that the situation is incredibly dangerous for people right now and put the death toll at 35. The mourner’s march went smoothly on Thursday, but people expect violence tomorrow.

Thank you for your article and pictures – we are dedicating a blog site to expose these Basiji thugs. Lots of your pictures have appeared all over and it is fantastic footage. Thanks again for helping.
Legacy of Basiji is extremely patriotic and bloody, as they’d been
ridding of bombs on roads by killing themselves…so that routes will be
open up for Iranian forces to proceed ‘War March’ against Iraq in 80s.
Today, they become nothing but a militia guys serving totalitarian
regime, intimitating particularly youths inside University and whielding
whatsoever they have in their hands against dissents, i.e. democratic
citizens as I write
Remembering vivid eyes of brilliant women, being reminded of
firm accounts and wishes from various walks of life – some of who’re
just sick of “Mullah regime”- during my visit there,
I dead hope the struggle for Democracy and Justice would further
prevail the country, which is otherwise so so beautiful!
Appreciate ur blogging, AH!
