NCRI – Chief of the State Security Forces (SSF) – mullahs' suppressive police – Preparedness Unit in greater Tehran announced that from the early hours of next Friday its forces will be monitoring every suspicious move on the part of the soccer fans, reported the official news agency IRNA on Wednesday.
The soccer game between two prestigious capital clubs is on in Azadi Stadium on Friday afternoon.
Traditionally, the game between the two draws the most fans. It has also been the scene of the demonstrators using the opportunity to express their hatred for the mullahs' ruling Iran.
Colonel Khancharli, the senior Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Special Units said in an interview that unlike previous matches, "SSF and men from his units will be monitoring the fans during the play and will not tolerate any form of civil disturbance."
"Along the route to Azadi, there will be temporary police stations set up to control the 'so-called' spectators. The SSF agents will not hesitate to refer the violators to judicial authorities," Khancharli added.
He said that in addition to other security measures on each public transportation bus there will be an agent of the SSF monitoring the passengers' conducts.
"We will deal swiftly with those violating the law on Friday," Khancharili said.
Tehran prosecutor's office has announced its readiness to press charges against those breaking the law during and after the play, the colonel told the press.
