WARNING, very graphic and disturbing.
Her name was Neda Agha Soltan.
There are credible reports (including a video) that Neda was watching a demonstration from some distance. She was a target of opportunity for a Basij thug, old enemies of America.
It becomes more difficult to remain merely “very concerned,” because as President Obama said, “the world is watching.” And it is not just Iran being watched.
“Martyr” is a word casually tossed around by Iran’s Supreme Leader. May he live to regret having created a true martyr. This woman deserves to be remembered. And avenged.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Hoseyni Khāmene’i is afraid. There is a rumor that a memorial service planned for today was canceled by Iranian authorities.
If the Iranian Tyranny is overthrown this young woman’s death will have played a major role.
Update 10:17AM Some reports have her last name as Soltani.
That's what you get when you allow a government absolute control, and give absolute power to a religion. Iran may appear to be less of a monarchy than it was before '79, but it's just lipstick on a pig. This young, beautiful woman's name should become a battlecry as they overthrow Yabbadabbadoo and, here's a radical idea, separate church and state.
