Neda

From YouTube:

Neda Soltani. 16 years old, murdered in the Streets, protesting peacefully with her father yesterday.

Neda, a young woman who was watching the protests in Tehran was shot dead by the regimes baseeji militia. Yesterday, along with Neda, 30 others were killed and 300 wounded. There are reports that the security forces were arresting the wounded from their hospital beds. Ali Khamanei is personally responsible for Nedas death and the death of protestors. Yesterday, the peoples solidarity was truly immense. They provided support, gave shelter and offered food to the protesters all day until late at night. Demonstrations took place, in many parts of Tehran, Shiraz, Rasht, Isfahan.

Here is the price of freedom: every drop of courage, ounce of pain, pint of blood. Paid in advance...

Dear Father, today I am Iranian.

Spread the word (and this vid if u want). lets not let these heroic people down. knowledge is freedom.

The video is graphic so the link is here. An innocent life snuffed out by tyranny deserves our attention, our prayers, and our support that her sacrifice is not in vain. May angels sing you to heaven, Neda.

Time magazine has some interesting commentary here.
