Sharia Police Brutality in Iran, Video

By Kamangir • Dec 3rd, 2007 • Category: Human Rights, Iran, Islam, Islamic Republic, Women

Police Brutality in Birjand, Iran, during the Sharia crackdown. This is what the girl is saying,

Wait a second! Lady Policewoman! … [Screaming] Let me go! [Screaming] People! Help! Help me!…

It is not clear what happens to the girl at the end. The consequences of detention by the Sharia police can be quite dangerous, see: Medical Student Commits Suicide after being Arrested by Sharia Police.

    Hi there.

    I am a student at the University of Minnesota in the USA. I am a journalism student and am required to write a story on Beirut. I am just trying to get a hold of anyone I can from Beirut so I can talk to them about how the war with Israel effects you on a daily basis, or if it effects you at all? I would be very greatful for any response you could give me. Thanks so much for your time. Please e-mail me at tarr0011@umn.edu.

    Thanks again!

    Indeed, Chaya, indeed… Ms. Gibbons had a state that cared about her, and used diplomatic pressure to try and get her out. The Sudanese government realized the potential backlash for a country already viewed as genocidal, and as a former theocracy the current dictatorship probably saw the problem of giving in to what the fanatics want.

    But there is no state that cares about the women of Iran… Least of all Iran’s own rulers.

    Usually, I’m pretty skeptical of the Iranian govt. However this video isn’t good evidence of much. You’re conclusion’s solid, but this vid might possibly be something much more tame.

    Let’s not topic switch on Archer.

    اين فيلم که دستگيری يک بانوی مبارز را نشان ميدهد و در يکی دو روز پيش روی داده شده را نگاه کنيد تا کی بايد مثل همان کسانی که در آن صحنه بودند وکاری نکردند ساکت بود و کاری نکرد باز ميگويم اگر به آزادی ايران اعتقاد داريد و ميخواهيد کاری برای آزادی ايران انجام
    دهيد فرم بالا را امضاء کنيد

    در تاریخ دهم آذر 1386 ساعت شش عصر شنبه شب در میدان ابوذر بیرجند گشت پلیس امنیت اخلاقی به دو نفر از دانشجویان دختر به خاطراینکه حجاب اسلامی را رعایت نکرده اند Ùˆ موهایشان از مقنعه بیرون است با لحن بسیار زننده ای به دو دختر دانشجو Ù…ÛŒ گویند : “بی سروپا حجابتو درست Ú©Ù† !” Ùˆ وقتی هم با واکنش دانشجو مواجه Ù…ÛŒ شود Ú©Ù‡ این Ú†Ù‡ طرز صحبت کردن هست ØŸ قصد انتقال آنان را به مرکز پلیس Ù…ÛŒ کند Ùˆ اقدام به ضرب Ùˆ شتم یکی از این دختران دانشجو Ú©Ù‡ از سوار شدن به خودرو پلیس امتناع Ù…ÛŒ نمود کرد

    Brando,

    Do you think it’s easy to get these videos taken? They have to be done seriptiously (don’t think I spelled that right!)

    Tiffany, I sent you an e-mail today but it came back as undeliverable.
