Neda Agha-Soltan


You've probably already heard of Neda.


About four days ago she was shot on the street as she and three friends were headed towards a rally. They had not even made it to the rally yet, and had nothing that would indicate to her assassin that they intended to protest. Her picture has become an icon for those opposed to the oppression wielded against the people of Iran.

A video of her death has made the rounds. This is graphic and uncut. If the picture at the top of the Wikipedia article is unsettling, please do not view the YouTube link.
