VIDEO: Iranian General Strike, Cornered Police Beg for Forgiveness


Iranians in many cities are staying at home or are out on the streets on the first day of general strikes.

Protests are still continuing as opposition supporters call for an end to the current Government in Iran.

Amateur footage shot in Tehran shows protesters cornering members of the Basij Militia.  Some Militia members were beaten and begged the protesters for mercy. 

People can be heard telling the riot police that they would not be beaten if they turned sides and joined the protesters.

Accompanying the video:

People have cornered these security forces. People ask them ‘why do you do this to your people?’ and the riot guards ask for forgiveness, ‘Bebakhshid’ they can be heard to say. ‘You are Yazid’s – the Khalif against whom the Ashura uprising took place -forces’, the woman shouts at them. One of the protesters then reassures them that they will not be beaten up, all they have to do is say Khameneii is a bastard. The woman can then be heard saying ‘All you can do is kill your people is it?’ and again they plead saying ‘Please we are not killers’.
