According to Iranian state media, (words in quotes are the language they used) 1 Basij has been “martyred.” He was killed by “thugs” (referring to the protesters who ran him over in Sa’adat Abad a northern well-off part of Tehran). According to state media, they have reported 8 deaths, one of them being a Basij and the others, according to them “thugs.”
