Neda Salehi Agha Soltan


I watch a lot of videos online, but couldn't bear to watch the video of Neda Salehi Agha Soltan murdered during a pro-democracy protest in Iran. Just now I read a blog asking all bloggers to post her picture in public recognition of death.
Present day Iranian rulers forbade her family from holding a wake in a Tehran mosque. They ordered them to bury her without fanfare or eulogy. They ordered them not to speak about her in public, and reportedly even told them to remove the black mourning ribbons outside their house.
Watch the video of her last breath above if you can, but do read about her here.
