Alleged video shows confessional of captured #Iran Revolutionary Guards snipers in #Syria.
A video on Youtube allegedly shot in Syria by the Free Syrian Army, shows the confessional of five captured members of Iran's revolutionary guards who had been sent to Syria to help with the violent suppression of protests in the city of Homs by the Bashar Assad regime.
The video shows five men dressed in black sitting on the floor against the wall, their sniper guns are also visible. The men say their name before one of the men reads out the confessional in which he claims their 'five member special unit' entered Syria on October 16th and with support from the Syrian intelligence forces the men contributed to the fatal suppression of protesters, including women and children in Homs.
The man goes on to ask the Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei to order the 'return of all (Iranian revolutionary guards) armed forces 'back so we can also return to our families'. The video also shows close ups of the men's passports and identity cards. Iran has long been accused of aiding the Syrian regime in the violent suppression of protests in the country. Iran denies the accusations.
