Iran: ‘Lovers Of Martyrdom Brigade’ Threatening Dissidents
Brigadier General Mohammad-Reza Jaafari was the leader of the Lovers of Martyrdom Brigades when it was formed in 2005, but three months ago, in September, he was put in charge of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Iranian Theocracy’s strongarm and father of the Quds Forces. When he became the IRGC’s leader he said that the IRGC was now switching its battle tactics from conventional to geurilla-like, martyrdom tactics.
The “Martyrdom Volunteers” who claimed to have sent the emails can no doubt be the volunteer group “Lovers of Martyrdom Brigades.” Some 50,000 volunteers throughout Iran who answered a newspaper ad, or even filled out an application on the Internet, to be suicide bomber volunteers for the Islamic State of Iran.
Those of you familiar with this group will know what I am getting at here, one of my favorite targets to watch.

Tehran- Dozens of feminists, human rights activists, student leaders and journalists in Iran have received an email death threat in the last few days.
The emails tell the recipients they have been targeted for their anti-Islamic activities and are told they are included on a list with those who deny their faith. They have been signed by the “martyrdom volunteers”.
Most of the recipients of these emails are women. One of them who asked to remain anonymous said she had to take the threats very seriously.
“It is the common impression that the growth of the feminist movement in Iran and the strong presence of women in civil society annoys someone, and perhaps many, who want to stop us by intimidation,” she said.
