Behesht-e-Zahra cemetery in Tehran / video crew on top of car (Video) / بهشت زهرا گورستان در تهران / ویدیو خدمه در بالای ماشین

Posted Fri, 2009-07-31 08:49 by IRelec09

The Iranian blogger Mojtaba Samienejad says that this video, uploaded to YouTube Thursday, shows opposition protesters at Behesht-e-Zahra cemetery in Tehran:

The video shows a car with a video crew on top of it driving up as the crowd chants “Ya Hussein! Mir Hussein!” That suggests that this may have been shot during the reported arrival at the mourning ceremony by the opposition leader Mir Hussein Moussavi. This chant, which has been used throughout the opposition protests, makes reference to the Shiite martyr Hussein and Mr. Moussavi, who shares his name.

A day With basidj members In Tehran! (Video-English Sub-Titles Current.TV)

Posted Sat, 2009-07-25 11:10 by IRelec09

I believe that the video was made a year (or so) ago, and is therefore pre-election.

The Basij (Persian: بسيج) (literally "Mobilization"; also Basij-e Mostaz'afin, literally "Mobilization of the Oppressed"; officially Nirouye Moqavemate Basij, literally "Mobilisation Resistance Force") is a paramilitary volunteer militia founded by the order of the Ayatollah Khomeini in November 1979. The Basij are subordinate to, and receive their orders from, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and current Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.

The force has been widely used in order to control the widescale protests following the 2009 Iranian presidential election. According to Iranian state-run media reports, eight of the 20 killed during the protests were members of Basij.
