“Baseej find themselves surrounded by the flames of their own motorcycles” as protesters pelt them with rocks. (Quite a change from the early protests when baseej drove motorcycles through the crowds clubbing and killing people.)
Remember, if you are caught and put in jail there for protesting you are quite likely to be repeatedly tortured and raped, often with the deliberate intent of destroying your personality.
The heroism and sacrifice of Iranian protesters fighting to take back their country is breath-taking. They are putting everything on the line. And for the first time, it looks like they are winning. Police and baseej are barely to be seen in today’s video footage while protesters burn down police stations.
