"Bassij used a gas that burned our skins its still red and inflamed Confirmed" (source: twitter from Iran)
That tweet was just received from Iran regarding the use of unconventional weapons by the volunteer paramilitary organization (which includes Palestinians, Lebanese Hezabullah, and other who have been brutal against the demonstrators and are not answerable to anyone. The fires of dissent continue to burn in Iran on Thursday as thousands took to the streets to protest against the regime.
The governor of Tehran authorized a "crushing response" to the demonstration, sending paramilitary police, undercover units and Basij volunteers to put down the protests. Twitter messages from the scene cite many injuries and mass arrests at Engelhab Square, in front of Tehran University. Another "Tweet" claimed that the security services sprayed a gas at the crowds that "burned our skin".
Thanks to tools like Twitter and YouTube, this uprising continues, despite the harsh tactics of the government, which has executed at least 20 demonstrators (that we know of), beaten those in prison into falsely admitting foreign ties, filled hospitals with the wounded, and used the undisciplined Bassij to carry out street violence and brutal home invasions.
