The Iranian Resistance condemns the mullahs' official resort to the deployment of club-wielder vigilante gangs to step up public repression and believes this measure to be the desperate reaction of the ruling mullahs to the growth and expansion of social protests.
In light of the deteriorating political and economic situation, the explosive social circumstances, and the regime's failure in legalizing the use of force to curb and contain increasing social protests, it has to resort more frequently to extra-judicial and arbitrary methods and once again unleashes club-wielding gangs to launch a wave of terror and reinforce public repression.
It should be noted that the U.N. Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities adopted a strongly-worded resolution yesterday and condemned the flagrant violations of human rights in Iran, including the excessive use of the death penalty, the use of excessive force and guns in suppressing public demonstrations and harassment and intimidation of people by street patrols.
