Iran protests: Schoolgirls heckle paramilitary speaker
5 October 2022
A new video posted online appears to show schoolgirls heckling a member of Iran's feared paramilitary Basij force, after anti-government protests sweeping the country spread to the classroom.
The teenagers are seen waving their headscarves in the air and shouting "get lost, Basiji" at the man, who had reportedly been asked to speak to them.
The Basij's volunteers have helped authorities crack down on the protests.
They erupted after the death of a woman detained for breaking the hijab law.
