IRGC and Basij paramilitary forces participate in suppressing Syrian uprisings

June 12, 2011

Agence France Presse:  Syrian repressive forces of Bashar al-Assad along with Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards have not refrained from committing any crimes against the Syrian youth and rising people.

According to Agence France Presse, many Syrians who were wounded in recent bloody attacks and have sought refuge in Turkey said that the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards and repressive forces were collaborating with Syrian armed forces to stifle the Syrian uprisings in every step of the way.

One of the youths said he personally saw Iranian regime’s armed guards who did not speak Arabic and had beards; in Syrian armed forces it is forbidden to wear beards.

Another young man said the Iranian regime’s forces wore black clothing, did not speak Arabic, and their weapons were different than those of the Syrian forces. He said they were Basijis [Iranian regime’s paramilitary forces attached to the IRGC] and were employed as snipers who were shooting into the demonstrators.

Meanwhile, according to Aljazeera, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish Prime Minister characterized Syrian government’s suppression of demonstrations as “inhumane” and said pressuring dissidents in Syria was “heinous and unacceptable”.
