Rafsanjani calls for clampdown on regime's opponents in administrative system

In a message this morning, Rafsanjani, President of the mullahs' religious, terrorist dictatorship, called for cracking down on the regime's opponents in the country's administrative system. He said: "The guardians of the system must... deal decisively with those who do not conform to norms of Islamic behavior."

Just yesterday, the mullahs' Majlis adopted a law according to which "the Guards Corps' Bassij Resistance force will set up units of strugglers and pioneers of the students' Bassij in high schools and junior high schools." This new suppressive organ is formed in a bid "to train and incorporate high school students across the country in the 20-million-strong army... for an all out defense of the Islamic Revolution."

In recent months, besides holding frequent maneuvers by the Bassij and the Guards Corps in many Iranian cities, especially in provincial capitals, the Khomeini regime has passed new suppressive laws.

Rafsanjani's threats today and the adoption of these laws reflect the daily escalation of popular dissent in all levels of society, even within government employees and workers, in the wake of the rapidly deteriorating economic conditions and the persistence of repression and clampdown across the country. They also attest the mullahs' extreme fear of escalating public discontent, the outbreak of popular uprisings and the regime's overthrow by the National Liberation Army of Iran.
