Wednesday September 1st, 2010 (Thur 11th Shahrivar, Tehran Time)
According to SahamNews, minutes ago, Mehdi Karroubi’s residence was once again brutally attacked by Basiji thugs. Following Fatemeh Karroubi’s open letter of protest to Ayatollah Khamenei last night and as a result of the government’s fear of Karroubi’s potential attendance at the Qhods Day demonstrations, a large number of organized Basiji thugs once again gathered outside the Karroubi residence from around 10pm Tehran time tonight.
On the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Ali and Qhadr night, and in the presence of security forces that supported them, these individuals were allowed to disturb the public order and create discomfort for people leaving in the neighborhood who were fasting during the sacred month of Ramadan. According to the SahamNews Reporter on site, the thugs chanted slogans against Mehdi Karroubi and in support of the Supreme Leader, threw rocks and sprayed paint on the walls of the residential complex creating substantial damage to the building. In addition to breaking the windows and spraying the walls with paint, the Basiji thugs also vandalized the building’s security cameras. The Basiji thugs affiliated with a neighborhood martyrs group (Shahid Mahalati) chanted slogans such as “If only Khamenei would give us the order to fight…” and “We congratulate the union of the United States and Karroubi”, wreaking havoc and disturbing people’s peace and quiet.
These individuals carrying all sorts of weapons had also engaged in similar activities during the past three nights with the intention to create fear and disturb public order and in particular prevent Mehdi Karroubi from participating at the Qhods Day demonstrations. It looks as though the ruling government is intent on using Basiji thugs and the Sepah (IRGC), doing everything possible to prevent Mehdi Karroubi from participating at the Qhods Day demonstrations. It is worth mentioning that as a result of last night’s attacks in an open letter written to Khamenei, Fatemeh Karroubi had stated: “What do my husband’s differences of opinion with you (a fact apparent to everyone) have to do with the right of my family to exist?”
