Why is this being done?

All I want to do is to put names and faces to an organization that thrives on anonymity. The Basiji is faceless but with a connected and tech savvy group of protesters throughout Iran, videos and photos are coming out of the nation even with the tight restrictions imposed.

I'm not anti-government or anti-Islamic, I'm anti-violence. The Basiji is seen as a secret police or Gestapo. What the Gestapo didn't have was people photographing them and showing them to the world - an advantage we have today with the proliferation of the internet. With this, my aim is to post photos and videos of this force in the hopes of being able to identify the actual people who perpetrated these crimes against their fellow Iranians, not just the leaders.

We as human beings are accountable for our actions and it is time for the Basiji to get what's coming for them.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you can all help in the fight against oppression
