    Basij commanders

     

    Basij Commanders

    Remember them, to be held responsible for their crimes against humanity.

    The current commander of the Basij is Hasan Taeb, (picture 1). The first deputy commander General Majid Mir-Ahmadi was formally installed on 4 September 2005 (picture 2). The Tehran commander is Seyyed Mohammad Haj Aqamir.

    The deputy Basij commander for Tehran, General Ahmad Zolqadr (picture 3) is the one commanding the beatings of peaceful civilians. He was formally installed on 5 September 2005; the new Basij commander in Tabriz, Brigadier General Mohammad Yusef Shakeri, on 29 September 2005.

    Ir is not easy to obtain pictures of those men. They do the dirty job and whish not to end in some sort of Nuremberg Trial when their regime falls.

    According to Radio Free Europe, the "backbone" of the Basij comprises 2,500 Al-Zahra battalions (all women) and Ashura battalions (male), numbering 300–350 personnel each. The IRGC aims to arm 30 percent of these battalions with semi-heavy and heavy weapons.

    However, all members of the battalions are trained to use light arms and rifles. In addition, since 2007 the Basij have established "30,000 new combat cells, each of them 15-20 members strong, named Karbala and Zolfaqar". The cells "cooperate closely" with the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution.

    Under the law of God:

    "Allah does not forbid you respecting those who have not made war against you on account of (your) religion, and have not driven you forth from your homes, that you show them kindness and deal with them justly; surely Allah loves the doers of justice" Koran (60-8) “…take not life, which God hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom.” [Al-Qur’an 6:151].

    “Otherwise, as I have already said, a government not respecting the people’s vote has no religious or political legitimacy. I ask the police and army personnel not to “sell their religion”, and be aware that receiving orders will not excuse them before God.”  Grand Aiatollah Montazeri June 2009.

     

    The ones that  kill innocent citizens, are blasphemers are blasphemers because they go against the law of God.

     

    Under the law of men.

    “The Iranian government at this time has ceased to be a legitimate government. A government primary role is to protect its citizens. They have done the exact opposite. They have hired thugs from the rural areas of Iran, Syria and Lebanon to beat, terrorize andkill its citizens. They pay the Lebanese more than the Iranian. 200,000 Tomans or $200. When your government takes measures to kill you…that is no longer your government! This is no longer about an election!” Anonymous post on Youtube.

     

    “Crimes against international law are committed by men, not by abstract entities, and only by punishing individuals who commit such crimes can the provisions of international law be enforced” (Judgment of the Nuremberg Tribunal, 30th September and 1st October 1946, Cmd. 6964, Misc. No. 12, London: H.M.S.O 1946, p. 41)
