Guardian News published this video item, entitled “‘Basiji get lost!’, female protesters chant in Iran protest” – below is their description.
Video shared online appears to show a group of female protesters in black chanting ‘Basiji get lost’ to a man at a podium in the Iranian city of Shiraz on October 4. Iran’s theocratic rulers have faced the biggest protests in years since the death in custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd detained for allegedly violating the country’s laws on clothing.
Within hours of Amini’s funeral on September 17, thousands of Iranians poured into the streets across the country in protest. Iran’s supreme leader later gave his backing to security forces confronting the protests. The Basij, formally known as the Organisation for the Mobilisation of the Oppressed, enforce Iran’s Islamic social codes, acting as a morality police at checkpoints and parks, and at other times crushing protests.
