It seems that the brutality of the mullah-led regime in Iran extends to parts of Europe as well. The below article in today's Heute (Austria) describes a young man identified under the pseudonym of Mido. This man (who I believe is of Iranian background) was so disturbed by what is happening in Iran that he twice went to a local mosque in Vienna to ask hard questions about the situation and what they thought about it. Both times, he went to the Imam Ali mosque in the 21st District of Vienna (Floridsdorf) in October 2022, and April 2023, he was beaten. This is a Shia mosque and is reportedly owned by the government of Iran.
The article in Heute is translated by Fousesquawk. There is a video showing the latest confrontation, but it appears that whatever narrative could be translated is in Farsi.

Man badly beaten two times at Vienna mosque
A man went into a Vienna mosque to ask about the situation in Iran. The response was repeatedly "quick on the trigger."
"Heute" (Today) reader, Mido* (name altered by editorial staff) went into an Islamic center in Vienna last October to ask questions about the worrisome situation in Iran. At that time, his concerns were brutally smashed-and him as well. In the middle of April, the man tried again at the faith center-about 20 people chased after the activist.

The death of the 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in her hometown of Saghes in NW Iran caused shock and indignation worldwide, Heute reported. Since then in Iran, it has been one stone on top of another. All over the country, there have been regular demonstrations-some brutally broken up. For Mido, an unbearable situation, which is why he went to the "Imam Ali" Islamic Center in the 21st district of Vienna. There he sought answers to his critical questions.
The 43-year-old received a solid beating- and on two occasions. In October, several men beat the activist out of the premises. In mid-April, it happened again. Mido was beaten a second time.
A colleague was with him, who, however, was able to escape from the charging thugs at the last second. From an opposite building, the witness filmed the unsettling tumult in Floridsdorf.
"I would like to be the voice for all Iranians who are suffering under the mullah-regime"
"For me, it is incomprehensible that faithful (people) support the situation in Iran. I would like to be the voice for all Iranians who are suffering under the mullah-regime," says the man to "Heute". For his solidarity, the man has had to deal with a lot of setbacks. However, Mido doesn't want to give up," until justice is restored in Iran". He has filed several reports to the Vienna police for bodily injury. The investigations are on-going.
Heute asked the Islamic Religious Community in Austria what the tumult was all about. To date, there has been no response.
