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.

Consisting of young Iranians who volunteer to join this force, the Basij are most notable for their loyalty to the supreme leader Khamenei. Currently Basij serve as an auxiliary force engaged in activities such as internal security as well law enforcement auxiliary, 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.

  • Fuck Basijis

  • That kid in the video said it best. His uncle was killed in war, his father is disabled. He has nowhere else to go and no one to provide him with a future. These rats snatch them up, brainwash them, and make them into copies of themselves. It's like the child armies in Africa.

  • AYADOLLARS / MOLLAS AND SHIA SHIT ARE THE BIGGEST ENEMY OF IRANZAMIN AND MANKIND:((

  • don´t call basijis humen they are the worst animals on the planet earth

  • i think basijis must not be kind to those american gangsters wannabe youth and cut their throats and kill their mothers.

  • @tupacIzAlive33 ...You are young, mistaking 'let it all hang out' as a real Democracy. Take a look at a real democracy such as Zionist created in State of Israel, they duplicated everything American... Mafia, Political corruption, using religion, GDP gong primarily into Military and war, importing prostitutes, name it (we both got it) including Ghonorrhea and Aids asking the question, who should give blood to Red Cross.

  • @2anewday ...Yes...rioter's shouting "Our Way or No Way", everyone but rioter's stoning and firebombing Police are bad. In New York City your (rioting) crowd would all end up in 'Head Trauma' hospital units, then you would know what a true Police State is all about.

  • @rtpricetag yeah im not stupid, i know what the US did was wrong in 1953 coup, im against the shah, and i know the US supported sadamm hussein in the iran iraq war, i know, i am in no way supporting US on those issues, u need to stop looking at things as black and white, but now u r falling into the trap of the regime that is using all those past incidents as a way to claim that the CIA set up all this stuff in Iran today, which is sad, its jus too bad u were not in iran to see with ur own eyes

  • @tupacIzAlive33 ...Do a study of "False Flag" operations, look into the covert agency "Int'l Endowment for the Democracies" covertly working in Iran before (and during) the Rioting-Patriot's. Check out the 1953 rioting covertly set up by the CIA in a duplicate operation, only in 1953 successfully overthrowing the Iran-Gov. Most of what people see and hear today is very often lies pre-planned like "NATO Stay Behind Militaries'.

  • @KhameneiRahbar ...The year-1980 Basij volunteers actually were used as a human wave defense charging the invading Iraq Military. This 'Human Bomb' you've mentioned is something new, although this does anwser (Basij human wave defense) why today Iran population is more than 50% 30-years of age or younger. Not all Basij disbanded in 1988 when Saddam signed cease fire, Western Empires were as today still covertly trying to topple Iran-Giov.

  • @rtpricetag so when i tell u that i saw with my own eyes an old women being beaten wut do u say to me now???
