NCRI – Brig. Gen. Ahmadreza Radan, Deputy Chief of the State Security Forces (SSF) –mullahs' suppressive police– threatened the youths with "breaking their necks," reported the state television on Thursday.
While calling the Iranian youths "thugs and hooligans," Radan said, "It was natural [that with our measures] some crimes would drop sharply."
"But let me assure you that if I face any 'hooligan' anywhere, I would [personally] break his neck," Radan said.
Radan is known among Iranian people for his ruthlessness. He was mainly behind the so-called "boosting public security plan."
The so-called "boosting public security plan" was first introduced in April 2007 to combat popular uprisings. Mass street arrests of hundreds of thousands of women and youth under the pretext of "mal-veiling" and cracking down on "thugs and hooligans" followed. In the same period, more than 300 prisoners were sent to gallows.
