Prominent Iranian reformist cleric, Ayatollah Hoseinali Montazeri criticized the role of Basij militia in the violent suppression of the post-election protesters and maintained the Basij was not established to serve “in the path of the Satan.”

In the post election events, Basij militia played an instrumental role in confronting protesters of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s alleged fraudulent victory. Some reports tell of Basij forces firing into crowds and causing the death of several peaceful demonstrators.
The authorities have denied Basij role in shootings. They claim infiltrators in Basij uniforms had carried out the attacks.
Ayatollah Montazeri commented on harsh beatings carried out by Basij forces saying: “Some have engaged in beating people just to secure praises from their superiors.”

The role of the volunteer force, Basij in the post-election crackdown of protesters has been criticized by numerous political figures and organizations.
Basij militia was established in 1979 by the order of Ayatollah Khomeini as a volunteer paramilitary force to protect the country. In the Iran-Iraq war thousands of Basij members died in the battlefield.
Since then the function of Basij forces which remain under the supervision of the Revolutionary Guards has underwent several changes.
Opposition leader Mir Hosein Mousavi, who was prime minister of Iran in the early days of Basij’s establishment, announced last week: “Basij was not supposed to become an organization that deprives people from their right to vote freely.”

Today Revolutionary Guard Commander, Hosein Hamadani announced that Basij functions have been modified and instead of a “military and defense” function from now on they will engage in “security and cultural” activities. He told Mehr news agency that “by security activities we mean confrontation of soft threats.”
Iranian authorities claim the post election protesters are engaged in a “soft war” against the Islamic Republic by creating adverse propaganda against the Islamic Republic in the media and trying to topple the government through non-violent means.
To confront the so-called “soft war,” Basij forces have been assimilated into the Revolutionary Guards and a section under the title of Basij-e Mostazafin has been established under the supervision of Brigadier-General Naghdi.
Commander Naghdi is a former Security and Intelligence Commander who was reportedly involved in the attack on university students in their dorm ten years ago and also in the arrests and torture of a number of the capital’s city officials.

Evidently Virginia has not read any parts of the proposed healthcare bill. Dont feel bad, Virginia! The Congressmen and Senators have not read it either! You are in good company. You or I will never get the kind of coverage those people have. You and I will get whatever they decide we can have. Wait 3 years to see a specialist. That means your overworked family practice dr. says you have cancer or a bad heart, you wait 3 years to see the cancer or heart doctor! Most people save the government a lot of money by dying while waiting! My son lives in North Idaho about 100 miles south of Canada. You can hardly get in to a hospital in CoeurDAlene Idaho or Spokane, WA due to the parking lot being full of Canadian vehicles. These are only the Canadians who can afford to pay cash. POOR Canadians have to sit at home waiting to die. Our government is already managing a healthcare system. VA Hospitals! Some are very good, but some are terrible! I have had 3 elderly uncles treated at the Boise Idaho VA. It is excellent for the most part. So is Albuquerque NM where another uncle and a cousin have been treated. But, when my uncle lived in southern NM, I took him to the El Paso VA and it was a filthy dump! He was on the same 20 medications for 20 years and felt lousy the entire time there. When he had to move in with his daughter north of Albuquerque, they were quick to take him off all 20 and replace them with 3. He felt 20 years younger! VA care is hit-or-miss, depending on where you happen to be. Is that what we want here? There are good and bad hospitals in my area. I have the choice to not go to the bad ones NOW! Will I under the government plan? I doubt it. We now have the choice of suing a bad doctor or hospital for malpractice or carelessness. Will we under the government plan? We will have no choice and we will have to just take our chances. Frankly, the chances do not sound promising under the government plan. A word to the wise- if you ever sue a doctor or a hospital, no other doctor will accept you as a patient. We were warned about that after our local hospital and (one nurse and one doctor) almost killed my husband twice in two days. We did not sue because he has a terminal illness and HAS to have doctors! Medical care is far from perfect here now. PLEASE DO NOT LET THE GOVERNMENT MAKE IT WORSE! Virginia, I think you need to go back to watching Soap Operas and American Idol and not bother your little head about any of this. Either that or READ THE BILL! There is a part about increasing the time between pregnancies (FORCED ABORTIONS??) and there is a part about not treating elderly and counseling them to just let nature take its course or make other end-of-life decisions. That means denying treatment, Virginia! That means either giving them enough pain meds so they die in peace or else letting them suffer as they die. EITHER WAY, THEY DIE! I am not ready to accept that.
Final Four:
Im not such an knowledgeable when it involves this. awesome scan, appreciate your bloging this.
First Round:(For all games, the higher seed number gets home [except for the National Championship which will be on a neutral field])
I dont believe anything about the economy recovery. I believe people have stopped with all of the panic attacks. One can stay in a state of hysteria for just so long. Anyone and everyone can spin anything and everything anyway they want to but unless it affects you personally, it really doesnt mean much. Just look at Mr. Obama and his family, the down turn in the economy sure does not seem to be bothering them, they are once again on vacation. Must be nice to be the King & Queen.
Regards for this post, I am a big fan of this website would like to go along updated.
Hi are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you need any coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello to all I can’t understand tips on how to add your site in my rss reader. Help me, please

Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too? This may be a issue with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Cheers
Speaking of bastards, Thierry & Guy Fat Bastard Merlot is pretty good.
Simply, superb, facinating! Timely, relevant, and critically informative, this program is a must see 101 in economics. I need to experience it again and again to ensure every single knowledge detail is indeliby imprinted in my brain. Thank you, Niall!
Common sense would tell us that killing someone is a huge decision to make and that all available resources to make this decision should be exhausted before determining if someone should be killed or not. I am not saying that I am against the death penalty, quite the contrary, I am a supporter when the person being executed has actually committed a crime worthy of death being the punishment. Being hasty is stupid, we must remember that the purpose of convicting someone of a crime is to bring them to justice. If we inadvertently commit a crime in the process then we have failed to provide justice. Simply don’t be hasty, and don’t attempt outsmart your common sense. Proof is essential, your common sense will show you how to find proof if you actually look for it and if it is actually there to find.
Not long discerned regarding your website and are still already reading along. I assumed i’ll leave my initial comment. i don’t verify what saying except that I’ve enjoyed reading. Nice blog. unwell be bookmarking keep visiting this web site very often.
Many thanks for taking time to write this article. It is been very valuable. It couldn’t have come at a better time for me! http://beefrecipes352.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-27.html
You would first ask your question by revealing your location, a Lawyer in California may not help if you are in New York, so without knowing where you are getting a reference from the BBB or looking in your phone book would be about the only way other than asking people in your area who you trust, the ABA is controlled by lawyers and very seldom will they give you an accurate evaluation. Yahoo search has a useful list of lawyers for your area and you could type your location and lawyer into it and get a list toe evaluate, lawyers will usually send you a packet with their accomplishments in it if not they probably do not have any.
