Basij Militia have opened fire into crowds (20 JUNE 2009) 30 khordad - BBC/Persian

[ForTheRepubl1c]

If you had even the slightest idea what a militia is, you would know that a militia will never fire on unarmed civilians.

A militia's sole purpose is to defend the civilian against a tyranical government. no more, no less.

[VirginiaTagz]

they arent shit without that ammo!!! if the guns jam they are properly fucked!!!

[OptimalDistortion]

Come on Iran! Free yourself!

That is INSANE! man, who would order the militia to fire on a unarmed crowed. I hope you guys get what you fought for.

[Hannoi]

Some americans here don't get it.

The Iranian people don't want the US to invade and help them that way.

Don't you think the Obama administration is busy behind closed doors? They are.

[DillianDough]

Did Dem DIE?

[jdog3089]

may god forgive the basij---their people will not!

[wrestlemax]

Americans are w/ the Iranian people!  Down w/ the Mullah's and Ahmedijad

[Estevinyo]

I guess if the people don't have firearms, there only hope will be if the army and guards switch sides.

[OblivionKeyblade72]

....they really weren't kidding when they said there's always someone off worse. Why in this day and age?

[Edustin]

Rise up in arms Iranians and take back your country from the elitists who wish to control you and take away your freedoms.

The United States and free world is with you!

[wargamemaster]

as long as obmams prrsdient aint going to happen (kinda agree with you and im not a politcal person)

[niuchemist]

Just keep drinking the Ayatollah's kool aid, you ignorant fool.

[briquetaverne]

Shades of the Hungarian uprising of 1956... Let's hope ALL outsiders, regardeless of their sentiments one way or another, stay out of it and let the iranians decide their own destiny. The persian people are a very intellectual people and don't need anyone else to interpret their needs for them.

[thedoomedhamster]

ur right know if every1 else was this smart

"RIP NEDA, The World cries seeing your last breath, you didn't die in vain. We remember you."

[StinkingHombre]

When is the leader of the free world going to start leading?

[revadavis]

He is, and he is being very wise. If the US overreacts and makes this about us and not about change in Iran, then the clerics will win. Its best for the administration to keep a low profile.

[auntdonna58]

AMEN. We can't keep watching these people be butchered and do nothing. Screw PC.

[Morganczaia]

It is impossible for the united states to control everything you know. Think of all of the butchering that goes on all over the world.

[fatback2]

the Basij can rot in hell

[handyhama]

Ayatolah is a stupid guy.

[babek17]

dumb ass arab suck my cock and shut the fuck up we dont needthe opinion of a arab man who used to live in the middle of desert and eat alive lizards even animals live more civilize than u shit barbarian arab pple who have no productivity for their societies but just fuck and abuse thier wives make too many baby muslims then claim islam is growing now fuck off dumb ass piece of shit arab criminal soon we are gonna send all of our criminal ayatolahas to ur arab country to the zoo which they belong

[asedky]

to babek17

you display the typical xenophobia and contempt of an very long animosity between the arabs and persians - this is definitely sad, as i judge you to be educated.

furthermore the ayatollahs have hijacked iran and are trying to keep themselves in power.

i firmly believe that the rigged elections will have an impact on their hold on power.

in the end freedom will prevail.

iran is a country with a deep rooted mature sense of culture. it merits better government.

[tsalexey544]

BBC lied to us a lot before.... Why should we trust it now?

[45axelh]

Iranians are brave... If i would be there I would hide.

[dookdawg214]

I think it's safe to say, 99% of the people are hiding like you would. That's a fairly small crowd down there. Don't generalize. Every country has a small portion of brave people who will stand and fight.

[45axelh]

I am saying Iranians are brave to stand up for their freedoms... I personally would not stand infront of assault riffles without flinching.

[dookdawg214]

You're making a statement about Iranians in general based on a video with a small group. Do you know what's happening right now? The demonstration numbers are down in the hundreds. Of tens of millions of citizens, only a few hundred dare go out and protest now. Don't get me wrong, I'd be hiding under my bed like a little girl. But it's not fair to act like Iranians have some special kind of bravery based on a video with a small group of people. Iranian's are as cautious as everyone else.

[45axelh]

you are missing my point completely ... I'm saying the Iranians who are standing up for their freedoms are brave beyond words, no matter the state of the rest of the world.

[Gonblen93]

@45axelh

thats because they are stupid thinking military wont open fire just because they are civilians they dont give a fuck...

[ramtinking]

@45axelh iranians did the same thing 1 more time 30 years ago, and if there is need, they can do it again and again

[FreddoX1]

The islamic dictatorship in Iran has dug its own grave!

[gali69]

It is ironic that all Iranians have the right to vote and are still accused of being in a dictatorship. On the other side, you have Israel whose racist policies prevents Palestinian refugees from voting or being given their own state and are yet considered to be the only democracy in the Middle East. Pure contradictions! Zionism = Nazism. FREEDOM FOR PALESTINE!

[33BlessingsOfGod]

Now i know why the BBC is expel for iran...what a propaganda tool it is ..shame on you BBC

[gali69]

thanks for showing your true colours.

[dookdawg214]

What are you talking about? Do you even watch (or read) the BBC? They also show the official govt. rallies and release the statements from Kameni, and from Ahmadjenedad, etc. They haven't taken a stance on this. They're showing clips of Basij shooting into crowds because that's newsworthy, and that's what's happening. Good journalists report news. If you don't like that, ghen go watch Al Jazeera or Fox News.

[mlh8723]

Everyone just point the blame why don't you

[gali69]

No point demonstrating against Ahmadinajad because the next American president will still bomb Iran or get Israel to do it.

[joojoojuice]

Blame America, don't bother trying to think or god forbid solve your own problems.

[gali69]

Some people might be protesting to solve their own problems while others are trying to please America. Those that try pleasing America... there is no point unless you reject your religion for they hate you because you are a Muslim and no other reason. Obama is good but when the next president comes, he will still call for the bombing of Iran or support Israel to "wipe you off the map".

[vinhthegreat]

yall the one started the fire you fuken shits

[T1000HD]

"Oh look, people are pissed! - We should reverse our decision??? No??? K.."

[cinemapop100]

Obama is a fucking bunda mole that does nothing.

[oirttaf]

we kinda fucked up their last revolution so it makes sense to stay the hell out of this one - plus it lends a lot more credibility to the new government should the revolution succeed, no claims of being a puppet government. theres really no reason to be mad at obama about this

[JimboVids]

Imagine how much more peaceful the world would be if we just nuke the ragheads (and yea, throw Obama into that crowd of fucktards too)

[AmirReborn]

Imagine how much more peaceful the world would be if we throw people like you who always wish bad upon others.

I hope one day you get your justice served to you on a silver platter.

[flakejakee]

I pray that justice comes to those who have stolen the election from the people of IRAN. People of IRAN you have my respect and my prayers for those you have lost at the hands of animals. May justice come from the voices of the Iranian people!!

[MrNiceHk]

I can see the CIA's media arm are in full force ... can anybody say Oil Companies

[CynthiaSwallows]

The elections are over.What Iranian leaders need to do now is come together and blame Israel for this,so that the healing can begin.

[serkia]

pfft Isreal? why not get it right the first time around and blame the USA

in all seriousness. wtf - the only thing that comes to mind is "rule with an iron fist", and dont think the american gov't wouldn't do the same thing as Iran's

[dejahthoris]

Vchapaev: I will. I will shoe shop and go to parties, and dance. I will volunteer at the school, and create reading gardens with the children. I will go hiking and camping and swimming. I will say what I want and read what I want. I will read alot. I will worship God when I want and cook food and love my family. I will listen to tons of music, especially rock and roll. Thats what us stupid Yankees do. Got Fredoom? What would NEDA do?

[plyadies]

These people don't know how to protest.What they need is a professional protestor to show how. They don't even have stones to throw.

[dejahthoris]

mahmoud and the bastards Basij. they are cowards. Allah, if you are watching, make sure they burned in hell.

[0othelonetigero0]

watch my IRAN VIDEO !!!!!! and see how we can resolve this !!!

[hexagonsun84]

Khamenei is a terrorist, and so are these. They are attacking innocent civilians for political reasons.

Find out who they are, and burn their homes. Scum!

[gonzolano]

Das liegt bestimmt daran das die im Iran soviele Killerspiele spiele, nicht wahr ?

[doodweney]

The government is calling the people of iran terrorists, the outside world terroists ,israel terorist ,who else supreme leader is on your list of hate .

This is what happens when a dictator is corupt .Incredible turn of events.Oh yeah Supreme leader you are 100 percent responsible for what has happened.

[44BlackAce44]

The world is watching .... the world is watching !!! The world is watching .... the world is watching !!! The world is watching .... the world is watching !!! The world is watching .... the world is watching !!!

[ho14160621]

Ahmadenajad is responsible for all this. That fucking Monkey sit there and compares the mudering to soccer games? and relates the people getting killed to being fined for an illegal traffic move. FUCK THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT. ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKIN Mullahs can kiss my ass. and if i ever fucking see any of you.

Iranians keep fighting. Neda Yademoon nemireh.<3

[RichardJoslin83]

ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER

[BDiegoTube]

The dictatorship is responsible for this, and the irony is some of the Basij aren't even Iranian. Iran spent all this effort to train Hamas to attack Israel, yet here they are in Iran attacking the Iranian people! The depravity of these people knows no bounds, they're basically the Gestapo of Nazi Germany.

[o0FallingSnow0o]

DON'T GIVE UP IRANIANS!!!

[1960ben]

You're right, most of us don't understand much about Iran.

After you win this thing, separate your religion from your politics, and hang those responsible for shooting your own people in the streets. Then we'll understand you a little better.

[tatsicatsi]

Fellows in Tehran - YOU need to catch Khamenei and Ahmadin and hang them on the first tree!!!

[vahidjakesh]

agha toro khoda komake iraniya koniddddddddddd vaghteshe

[Puabond]

Please be a legitimate revolution.

[ManoloBMG]

Khamenei should know that the world is watching this!

[sean4496]

Free Iran from the Islamic Regime!!!!

Free Iran!! WE want the LIon Flag!!

Rest In peace you courageous People who want your freedom of speech,They have No right TO shoot you for Making Speeches!!Rest In Peace Neda!The world Is watching,And we persians will reach our goal In kicking out the Akhoonds!

We persians have to stay strong and stay Together,We cant let the Islamic regimists do this to our peopl

[xynophocix]

Time to start World War 3

[Puabond]

right...

[ddc4lifecuzzz]

so what do people plan on doing? just watch?

[saha8857]

They are not from Basij, we have to find a new name for those terrorists. The Basiji people were who defend Iran for 8 years against Saddam by their own lives. These sawages shouldn't called Basiji, they are heartless killers. God help people of Iran, oh God how much should we suffer? what wrong did we done?

[mariejoonam]

They are the BASIJ rightwing REDNECK MILITIA.

They were cannon fodder. They are tools used by Khameni.

NOt ALL basiji are bad, or taking part, but trust me..they are BASIJI

[deus911]

Canada and the States are two different things, idiot.

[dreadedcrow16]

Fuck you and the ayatollah! Inshallah a missile will crash into Ahmadinejad and ayatollah's house in the night!

[vickyalender]

What is everyone talking about? These Iranian people are displaying the bravest response possible. For far too long, they have been suppressed by totalitarian regimes. They are trying to throw off the yoke of repression because nothing else works. There is no "free voting" in Iran. It is truly tragic that so many people are losing their lives, but unfortunately, as history has proven time and time again, it is the only way to gain true freedom.

[djseze]

I apologize for my ignorance but, what is the Basij?

[dreadedcrow16]

paramilitary organization. they take orders from the iranian national guard.

[PersianImm0rtal]

Volunteers, they volunteer to be in military for the Islamic Regime, most of them are not even Iranian-Persians, they are arbas, or just psychos. very religious. they are like suicide bombers. Very little education, completely backwards. and very evil.

[mariejoonam]

The basij is like...

taking all the dumbest most ignorant redneck s in america, arming them with guns, chains, and motorcycles...and letting them go out and kill whoever they like without having to go to jail.

The basij are a right wing militia controllled by the supreme leader.

[dejahthoris]

I have heard many of them do not speak Farsi and are not Persian. They are mercenaries, that is why they will kill and hurt Iranians, even women and children.

[deus911]

Again, what I wrote earlier applies to posts in general, Chapaev.

[trunkeight]

flying pigs painted rainbows on golden flying carpets on the moon.

[deus911]

Chapaev, do you mean to tell me that you can't name a less deadly method to deter people from rioting? You should think it out first, then post; not the other way around.

[abenoir]

fuck you badbooy13. fuck you and go to hell. if you are in power, you would be a skinhead.

[larissan04]

god bless the people of iran! you are courageous and have shown the world how strong you are! god bless you! you are an inspiration to the world!

[badbooy13]

fuck islam

[larissan04]

no. more muslims have died from islamic terror then anyone else. they want the right to live thier lives too. it is a common denominator of all human beings. they don't want to be oppressed by islamic oppressors nor secular tyrants.

[CelinMason]

you moron why look at relgion and talk like that these are humans that are being killed these are every day pll OPEN YOUR FRIGGEN EYES !!!!!!!!!

[abenoir]

fuck you badbooy13. fuck you and go to hell. if you are in power, you would be a skinhead.

[2009kawasaki]

people need guns to fight back.

[Hexwar]

Iranian people You need AK-47's!

And then crush this Terror regime!

[duececaboose]

this is why the right to bear arms exists in america.

[larissan04]

that is what a very liberal iranian friend actually told me. because these innocent people do NOT have guns to defend themselves.

god bless the people of iran.

[VGSpieler]

Agreed. Fuck hunting, target shooting, etc. We have guns because this shit will not stand.

This video is sad. I have viewed a lot of raw footage. This is the first one with direct gun fire. I am so disappointed by this video. This is an example of fatal conflict. When citizens and officials clash, the results are fatal. My heart goes to most everyone in Iran. Never before have I witnessed such aptitude. I believe most everyone can learn a thing or two from taking a look at some of these incredible video. Please Share with your neighbor!

[Alienzone88]

Shame, shame, the world watches the shame of a military Dictatorship that cares naught for the peoples democratic rights, but that will hang on to their ruthless power at all costs, and the cost is the blood of the Martyrs that stain the streets of Iran, shame shame

[PersianWolverine]

I was never even born there.... but iam a iranian

[finemellow]

How dare they open fire! Disgusting.

[TheSaintTheo]

I, as well as a very large portion of the western world, am amazed by your bravery. I doubt I could ever stand for what I believe as Iranians are now.

[p0wns]

Best wishes from germany!

I trust in you all iranis you will get them! Stay strong dont give up, victory is near!

god bless you all

[TomboysTv]

We support you. Please stand strong!

It is exactly 30 years when this regime opened fire onto the Iranian people in 20 June 1980. Then it was the PMOI. The government labeled them terrorists. Sorry to see that it is happening again. Bear hands?

[marting089]

this is terrible. unfortunately a peaceful revolt seems to be impossible. only by force can the people overthrow the totalitarian government. history has shown, evil can never rule forever. the irani government are right to fear the people, they should. a minority of the people can never hold back the majority for too long. the people of iran wants and deserves freedom, its about time.

Please dont give up.. ive waited 22 years for this day.. it brings tears of joy to me :)

[Theologist]

As someone living outside the country, you can't tell people not to 'give up' when it comes to them risking and often losing their lives.

If you were in the middle of the field, that would be different. But you can't sit in your safe comfy couch in Europe, and tell the Iranians they need to make a sacrifice because of something you've been waiting for.

If Iran is freed, why do you think they would want you back anyway? You were a coward who left when times got tough. They stayed and fought.

[Twidizle]

Exactly.... I agree with you completely. I have been saying this the whole time. Iran does not belong to those who fled the country.

[stymie222]

Remember ! Dont ever let the Government take your right to own a weapon.

our hearts go out to the young Iranians asking for their human rights.

It is so sad that Iranians who introduced human right to Humanity have at present such chains around there necks. manije
