Uploaded today, not sure when it was filmed though.

Unfortunately the sound drops out at the best bit at the end...

The basij should have their legs broken, gear stripped and arms confiscated, IMO.

Seems like it was more 'Tiananmen Square Redux' since then.

They can't defeat an army by throwing sticks & stones, no matter how hard they'd try.

The oppressive regime has posted guards on every street corners now (to deter any potential BEGINNING rally).

I'm really interested in finding out when this actually was.

Although, it wasn't the same video (i.g., not taken from the same phone), it was the same rally.

Power to the people. May they have the resolve and strength of will to continue this fight until they end it.

Let's unveil the Basiji,here is a website devoted to just that;

One in five.
As Jim Morrrison said: "They got the guns; we got the numbers."
It's just a matter of time before the power structure in Iran gets a serious face lift.
When was the last time an angry mob turned back riot police?
This kind of oppressive brutality is what caused the Shah's demise.
Governing without popular support ends in failure when the population can read and write.
The only reason Bush got away with his iron fist approach is because the United States is the dumbest country in the industrialized world. For eight years we had a government that spoke in the vernacular of professional wrestlers.
We were in the streets in large numbers, but the corporate/government media brushed it aside.
