Basij Attack on Mosque

Here is what happened according to Mousavi's Facebook:

Footage shows the attck on Ghoba Mosque, where Grand Ayatollah Dastghey holds sermons, by plain clothes Basij militia with the support of coup government's police and security forces: Plain clothes militia surrounded the hall for Grand Ayatollah Dastghebs speech in Shiraz (central Iran) following the message of Grand Ayatollah Dastgheyb and his warning against illegal actions and beating and bashing of people by the coup governments agents in the recent days, on Tuesday several plain clothes militia and Basij forces surrounded and put on blockade Ghoba Mosque where Grand Ayatollah Dastgheyb was giving a speech.

Based on this report, the opposition supporters and the supporters of Grand Ayatollah Dastgheyb are not permitted to get close to Ghoba Mosque and in the past few days many people of Shiraz have been arrested by oppressive Basij forces. Meanwhile since Monday, every so often several bikers manoeuvre around Shiraz University and the streets around the university are clearly occupied by plain clothes militia and Basij. These events are happening as a consequence of Grand Ayatollah Dastgheybs bold and humane positions against the recent actions of the government in beating and bashing the mourners of Imam Hossein and killing many on the holy day of Ashura commemoration. For some time Ghoba Mosque and the alleys around it were in the blockade of the plain clothes militia and Basij.
