[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] "Revenge for Allah" militias, an hard boy hardline group in Iran, attacked officials belonging to the administration of former Iranian President Mahmoud Short Round Ahmadinejad, who is currently taking refuge at a religious shrine in Tehran.
The group reportedly carried out the attack on Saturday as a way to protest against the charges of corruption against them.
Ahmadinejad’s unofficial website, Dolat-e Bahar, published pictures and videos of the attack and reported that members of the hard boy groups were loyal to the head of the Iranian judiciary, Sadiq Amouli Larijani. They also beat supporters of Iranian former vice president, Hamid Baghaei, former media adviser Ali Junafkar, and former senior government official Habibullah Kharasani, all who have been carrying out a religious sit-in since Wednesday at Shah-Abdol-Azim shrine. |
