Basij make major alcohol, porn haul
2002-11-25
Iran's hardline Basij militia have seized 10,000 litres of alcohol and 1,836 pornographic Video CDs in four separate raids in the capital, a press report said Monday. The militia, currently celebrating national Basij week, also arrested a number of people and confiscated equipment to manufacture alcoholic beverages as well as a computer, the conservative Javan newspaper said. Punishments for possession of alcohol or pornography in Iran include large fines, spells in jail and flogging.
"A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou" will get you 80 lashes on the bare doup, and 5 to 7 in jug. Persia used to be such a civilized country...
The Basij are busybodies and bully boys a volunteer militia with branches in all of Iran's main cities. It is linked to the armed forces and like them is controlled by Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Actually, Basenji are barkless and these guys have been baying at the moon for quite some time....maybe they are different?
