This is BIG, and a bit complex, but the this plan has multiple uses.
- Expose and identify the Basij and plain clothes police for future prosecution under a new Irainan regime. The Basij force has been estimated to be at least 100,000 strong. The more violent the actions of the Basij, the higher the risk of prosecution, Basij, if you do not want to be prosecuted, it would be best to retire from the force now.
- Using the power of hundreds of people worldwide, assemble a database of images of the individuals beating and gunning down their fellow citizens in the streets of Iran.
- Counter the current TV spots in Iran highlighting the protesters. Those spots are about intimidation, and word of this can be as well, intimidation of the Basij. Imagine you were Basij, and you were, like all of Iran wondering what the future holds for your Country. Now, Imagine possible prosecution if things change. How involved would you want to be?
- Possibly make the Basij thugs think twice before shooting, maiming, or beating our friends in Iran.
- We need some serious talent here, Post this everywhere to get recruits, and re-tweet the link regularly!
- Your comments and suggestions are always welcome!
There are several facets to the plan, and we need talented individuals for this to work!
Step One: We need links to any site that contains photos or videos of Basij, in active or passive repression.
This phase can be done by anyone, search YouTube, other video and Image sites for images, and get the links to us via comments, flickr post, or email. Iranian sites have used these images as propaganda since the start, as intimidation to the protesters, if you are capable of accessing and reading these Iranian sites, check them out thougoughly for the videos and images we need.
We need to know:
Where (x square or ‘district’ ( if known)
When was the image taken
City (tehran, or other if known)
Who (guy on the left, to point out the Basij)
What (commenting on women not wearing scaves, beating, shooting, whatever)
Then the link to the image or video.
The links will be posted on this site.
You can also get those links to us via comments on this site.

A note on the Tor Project:
This is the manner in which our friends in Iran have been communicating out of the country. The concept of Tor, is basically a secure mini-internet inside the internet, allowing access to otherwise blocked sites. Joining the project takes installation if a bit of software on your computer, allowing the Tor network to use part of your internet connection for communications out of secure countries, like Iran. joining the Tor project increases capacity of the network, and allows more information to flow in and out of Iran. If you set your computer to stay out of hibernate mode, and leave it on, and connected to the internet, you are helping our friends in Iran while you sleep. If you turn your computer off, or disconnect from the internet, the system automatically routs around your “node” or “relay”, allowing the system to work without your participation, just a bit slower. Most users will not notice the TOR connection’s use of bandwidth or computer resources on their systems. The Tor network needs our help and resources. Not money, just unused bandwidth and a bit of your computer.
A Tor Bridge is a connection that you supply to the Tor network, allowing someone in Iran to use your connection as the first link in the Tor chain. These are sent into Iran by specific means, by a few individuals, to a few individuals inside Iran. These are not published in a mass manner, this makes your connection worthless, as it can now be easily blocked or monitored by the bad guys in the Government. The need for bridges is constant, as protesters are captured, their internet history is searched, the old bridges are identified and blocked from Iranian access, they are worthless. If you set up a “bridge” there are ways to get the information to those that need it at the anonygreen site below.
There are sources for more information on the Tor project, and how you can help! Start here:
