SMUGGLED VIDEO OF AYATOLLAH BOROUJERDI'S PRE-ARREST SCENES

CLICK ON TITLE TO GO TO VIDEO Farsi language but gives a general view of initial events while they were still minimal and calm. Later escalation included shots being fired into the crowd by the Islamic Regime. With some 700 people wounded and killed. First scenes show wooden club wielding Boroujerdi supporters milling around and one shouts out "break any cameras you see" to protect those on Boroujerdi's side from being filmed by the authorities and later identified from the video. (The Regime meanwhile issued orders to arrest anyone with a camera to prevent their savage actions from being recorded). Then it shows a pro-regime man being brought ot the scene, being clothed on site as a Mullah (white turban makes him a simple "sheikh" not descended from the Prophet - black turbans) begging (as a "cleric") Boroujerdi’s backers to disperse from the area of Boroujerdi’s home. The cleric is rebuffed by supporters of Boroujerdi and rushed away from the scene. At the end of the footage Boroujerdi is seen making his last emotional speech outside his house before his arrest. “…Tell the world that Boroujerdi did not fear death…. He defended an Islam which promotes love and kindness not the Islam that these lot advocate which has brought poverty, corruption, prostitution, addiction ….I don’t want you to risk your lives for me, I just want you to tell the world what happened here.” On the spot and at the time live report of the events were posted here.
