Wolves in hyena's clothing
In the article Which State Security Branch Rules Tehran’s Streets?
he supports an anonymous Iranian Basij member's assessment that the split in the
ranks of the government loyalists extends not only to clerics and
officers in the Revolutionary Guard, but also to the Basij.
“There are many Basijis who were in support of Mousavi,” says an
Iran-based analyst who requested anonymity, himself previously an
active member of the Basij. “Many Basijis are upset that the recent
violence has been attributed to them.”
Former Sepah founder Sazegara concurs, adding that many of the plainclothes controlling the streets and meting out excessive violence to protesters are “intelligence personnel of the Sepah, some of them even with military degrees, but showing up in plainclothes to take on the appearance of the Basij.”

Activism in a repressive environment
Rather than speculate about the dramatic life of Mohsen, probably eventful enough to make for a great novel about love, betrayal, guilt and redemption, let's skip to the chase:
According to a Twitter user who shall remain unnamed for the sake of his safety, Mohsen Sazegara offers these bits of advice with regards to a future strategy for the Iranian protesters.

Convert Sepah and Basij
Find members of Sepah or Basiji in your quarter. Distribute
their adress and photos in flyers and post them in Internet.
Try to convince Sepah memebers in quarter that their way is
wrong. Show them fotos and movies of brutality in recent riots.
Appeal to their concience! If you are successfull, tell them they could speak with their Basij friends/members also.
Blitz demonstration
Another user on Twitter who seems to have street credibility says a 500 size crowd is enough to make the police run.
A message frequently heard is to time stamp video recordings beyond doubt by filming a front page of a daily newspaper.
Use "Blitz demonstration" from Argentinian student riots. Demonstrate in groups of 40-50 only for a few minutes in busy locations.
If anti-riot forces are confronted only with small groups of short-term rallies all over city, they cannot focus their forces.
A good place to use "Blitz demos" is in the Metro. Anti-riot squad cannot use heavy weapons there. Beware of cameras and avoid getting filmed. Use masks.
Use "Blitz demonstration" in several spots all over city, disperse after a few minutes. Film your action & take photos. Finish with hurra or clapping

3 Day Strikes
Mohsen Sezagara continues:
Mohsen Sezagara continues:
3-Day-Strike will show intelligence of movement. Regime cannot
react. Feast Days are religious, and they're not allowed to break Seclusion.
If Regime breaks Seclusion they break their own religious rules. If they let people strike they will be weakened for sure.
In this way you support detainees indirectly. If enough people don't go to work these 3 days, this will hit.
3-Day-Strike will be a very good trial for future landwide strikes. It's a long way to reach democracy step by step.

Ukrainian Tactics
Use Ukrainian Tactics! Forge official letters with fake regime stamps which testify these days are non-working days!
For sure fake letters will be detected soon, but workers/enterprisers
could claim they thought docs were original and followed!
These Ukrainian tactics are very clever to fool the regime administrators and simultaneously do not give them any reason to harm companies.
To all shopkeepers: put a flyer with word "Seclusion" in the pane during feast
days and close your shops - show solidarity with all people.
