In a shocking and unprecedented interview, directly exposing the inhumanity of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's religious regime in Iran, a serving member of the paramilitary Basiji militia has told this reporter of his role in suppressing opposition street protests in recent weeks.
He has also detailed aspects of his earlier service in the force, including his enforced participation in the rape of young Iranian girls prior to their execution.
The interview took place by telephone, and on condition of anonymity. It was arranged by a reliable source whose identity can also not be revealed.
Founded by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1979 as a "people's militia," the volunteer Basiji force is subordinate to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and intensely loyal to Khomeini's successor, Khamenei.
The Basiji member, who is married with children, spoke soon after his release by the Iranian authorities from detention. He had been held for the "crime" of having set free two Iranian teenagers - a 13-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl - who had been arrested during the disturbances that have followed the disputed June presidential elections.
"There have been many other police and members of the security forces arrested because they have shown leniency toward the protesters out on the streets, or released them from custody without consulting our superiors," he said.
He pinned the blame for much of the most ruthless violence employed by the Iranian security apparatus against opposition protesters on what he called "imported security forces" - recruits, as young as 14 and 15, he said, who have been brought from small villages into the bigger cities where the protests have been centered.
"Fourteen and 15-year old boys are given so much power, which I am sorry to say they have abused," he said. "These kids do anything they please - forcing people to empty out their wallets, taking whatever they want from stores without paying, and touching young women inappropriately. The girls are so frightened that they remain quiet and let them do what they want."
These youngsters, and other "plainclothes vigilantes," were committing most of the crimes in the names of the regime, he said.
Asked about his own role in the brutal crackdowns on the protesters, whether he had been beaten demonstrators and whether he regretted his actions, he answered evasively.
"I did not attack any of the rioters - and even if I had, it is my duty to follow orders," he began. "I don't have any regrets," he went on, "except for when I worked as a prison guard during my adolescence."
Explaining how he had come to join the volunteer Basiji forces, he said his mother had taken him to them.
When he was 16, "my mother took me to a Basiji station and begged them to take me under their wing because I had no one and nothing foreseeable in my future. My father was martyred during the war in Iraq and she did not want me to get hooked on drugs and become a street thug. I had no choice," he said.
He said he had been a highly regarded member of the force, and had so "impressed my superiors" that, at 18, "I was given the 'honor' to temporarily marry young girls before they were sentenced to death."
In the Islamic Republic it is illegal to execute a young woman, regardless of her crime, if she is a virgin, he explained. Therefore a "wedding" ceremony is conducted the night before the execution: The young girl is forced to have sexual intercourse with a prison guard - essentially raped by her "husband."
"I regret that, even though the marriages were legal," he said.
Why the regret, if the marriages were "legal?"
"Because," he went on, "I could tell that the girls were more afraid of their 'wedding' night than of the execution that awaited them in the morning. And they would always fight back, so we would have to put sleeping pills in their food. By morning the girls would have an empty expression; it seemed like they were ready or wanted to die.
"I remember hearing them cry and scream after [the rape] was over," he said. "I will never forget how this one girl clawed at her own face and neck with her finger nails afterwards. She had deep scratches all over her."
Returning to the events of the last few weeks, and his decision to set free the two teenage detainees, he said he "honestly" did not know why he had released them, a decision that led to his own arrest, "but I think it was because they were so young. They looked like children and I knew what would happen to them if they weren't released."
He said that while a man is deemed "responsible for his own actions at 13, for a woman it is 9," and that it was freeing the 15-year-old girl that "really got me in trouble.
"I was not mistreated or really interrogated while being detained," he said. "I was put in a tiny room and left alone. It was hard being isolated, so I spent most of my time praying and thinking about my wife and kids."
Thankfully our Dear Leader didn’t want to get involved in supporting any opposition to this.
Eternal Islam.
How a great civilization like the Persians can descend to this level of sickness is beyond me!!! Cyrus the Great would have had the whole Basij lot rounded up and executed in an appropriate manner befitting their crimes.
Thank you Jimmy Carter. This Iran is so much better than the one you started with, you stupid, evil, doofus.
Ditto.
21st century Nazis. And yes, we are lucky they can proceed with no fear of the US becoming involved. Our own King Hussien is leading and guiding us in the paths of rightousness for his namesake.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

AMEN!!! Unfortunately, now we can just wait to see how our current President will do even 'better'! SIGH!
As I was saying—”The Religion of Peace..........”
Well said.
Jimmy Carter has a lot of blood on his hands.
This is the type of sheit, among others, that the freedom movement in Iran was standing against. Thanks for abandoning them, zer0.
Farkin’ savages.
“Cyrus the Great would have had the whole Basij lot rounded up and executed in an appropriate manner befitting their crimes.”
Bump
“Jimmy Carter has a lot of blood on his hands.”
He sure does, and so does the POS who today occupies the White House, for not giving moral support to those brave folks who made a stand for freedom.
Islam - the religion of Hell.
Thankfully our Dear Leader didn’t want to get involved in supporting any opposition to this.
....and N.O.W. will still support and contribute to his re-election campaign without a word of protest.
Hypocrites.
Code Pink and the Nags will be protesting anytime now. You know they care about the plight of women and not just commie politics.
Pray for America
And the UN has an emergency meeting planned...
Wait, that Human Rights thingy doesnt include this...
Silly Nana...
Never mind.....
