As a Man, as a Person, as a Human Being, Is There a Limit to Forgiveness ? Can We NOT Forgive This Basij soldier ?

  His weapon against his people is ''R A P E''

''Interviewing a former Iranian Basij militia member''  from BBC Forum: Snowblog by Lindsey Hilsum

For months now, we’ve heard horrific stories of rape and abuse from Iran’s prisons.

Since the election last June 2009, hundreds, maybe thousands, of opposition protestors have been beaten and jailed.

Human rights groups have documented many reports of ''RAPE'' within the police stations and prisons.

Now, for the first time, we’ve spoken to a member of the Basij militia – the group said to be responsible for many of the abuses.

Basiji is a paramilitary volunteer militia founded by the Ayatollah Khomeini in November 1979.
However they are a "a loosely allied group of organizations" including ''those controlled by local clerics''.

This UK asylum seeker, aged 27, is a member of Basij. 

Born into a deeply religious family, utterly loyal to the Islamic Revolution and above all to the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamanei.

His Basij unit, was told months before the election, that the Supreme Leader had decreed that Ahmadinejad should win as President.

Also was told to ignore choices and desires of voters and vote for Ahmadinejad on their behalf.

They stole the ballot boxes with the votes of young people, who mainly voted for the opposition.

They were armed with batons, cables and other weapons to attack protestors.

His colleagues killed people on the streets.

When about a hundred young people were arrested and put in shipping containers, Basij from the provinces were brought in.

From the containers they heard the desperate cries of men and women, boys and girls, being raped by the Basij from outside the town.

The date was 20 June.

He gave BBC Forum the name of the police station where the assaults took place, and identified the mullah in charge of the basij in his city.

BBC will not reveal any of the details which could identify him.  BBC had authenticated the story.

He refused to shake the hand of a woman, another sign of his religious background.

His story confirms the reports BBC have had from victims and human rights groups.

They say ''RAPE'' has been used all over Iran,  in the brutal months since the June election.

“I am ashamed in front of people, even to say that I was mistaken, and I am ashamed in front of my religion,” he said. “I committed crimes, knowingly and unknowingly. Now I’m left with my conscience punishing me for what I did.”

During my lengthy walk of seven decades and two years of life many a story of distress have fallen within my range. 

This confession is one of the most brutal --- but knowing for certain that false certificates and documents are vital to asylum seekers --- am wondering how truthful is this Basiji youngster ?

Isn't he a potential ''mole'' of Iran to create trouble in Uk ?
