Iran Reportedly Recruits Children To Beat Protesters in Tehran

Even those people used to the unhinged diatribes of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad were left in stunned silence when he denounced the use of force against demonstrators in Libya as “grotesque” — adding “it is unimaginable that there is someone who kills and bombards his own people.” Now, in addition to Iran’s shooting and killing protesters, the International Campaign for Human Rights says that the Iranian government is trucking in children between 14 and 16 to beat protesters in violation of international law.

The children — armed with batons, clubs and air guns — have appeared throughout Tehran. One woman was told by the children that they were recruited with promises of chelo kebab dinners, one of Iran’s national dishes.

Iran and China have a history of trucking in people from rural areas to crackdown on protests in their Capitols.
