Encyclopedia : A : AN : ANS : Ansar-e-Hezbollah
Ansar-e-Hezbollah (Persian: انصار حزب الله) is a militant ultraconservative Islamist group in Iran. In both Iranian and Western media, they are often characterized as a "vigilante" group.
They are also called upon to put down riots before the police force are called to resolve the issue through traditional methods. Members of Ansar-e-Hezbollah, who typically dress in plain black clothes, are known for attacking protestors using bars, chains, and other such weapons from fast moving motorcycles. They often disappear or 'stand-down' when the normal police appear.
