In a way I wished that these people were right but I am sad to say that the girl in this video, Neda Agha Soltan was indeed shot by the Basij and that the video clip is authentic. BBC Persian interviewed Neda’s fiancé and some of the initial information, such as the man in blue being Neda’s father is now corrected. That man is in fact Neda’s teacher. Neda is now buried at Behesht Zahra cemetery. May she rest in peace. Her lot is 32 41 257.[/i] Subsequent reports say that the shouting I didn't understand in Farsi encouraged Neda "not to be afraid." "Stay with us Neda," they said. - Susan Macaulay Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:19:46 +0100 http://www.amazingwomenrock.com/myblog/one-young-woman-dies-in-the-street-in-tehran.html#comment-168 I didn't cry two days ago as I watched a video of 16-year-old Neda dying in a Tehran street. But I did today when I stumbled across the words of an Iranian blogger, retold in another tribute to Neda, artfully penned by Liana Aghajanian, in her blog post "Neda: The Symbol of a Brewing Revolution [url]http://www.ianyanmag.com/?p=737[/url]. Aghajanian writes: The most poignant tribute to Neda came from an Iranian blogger who wrote earlier about participating the demonstrations on Saturday, June 20 and who, although feared getting killed, expressed her desire to participate so that the next generation would know that they did everything they could to create a better future for them: [quote]Yesterday I wrote a note, with the subject line “tomorrow is a great day perhaps tomorrow I’ll be killed.” I’m here to let you know I’m alive but my sister was killed…I’m here to tell you my sister died while in her father’s hands I’m here to tell you my sister had big dreams… I’m here to tell you my sister who died was a decent person… and like me yearned for a day when her hair would be swept by the wind… and like me read “Forough” [Forough Farrokhzad]… and longed to live free and equal… and she longed to hold her head up and announce, “I’m Iranian”… and she longed to one day fall in love to a man with a shaggy hair… and she longed for a daughter to braid her hair and sing lullaby by her crib… my sister died from not having life… my sister died as injustice has no end… my sister died since she loved life too much… and my sister died since she lovingly cared for people…[/quote] - Susan Macaulay Mon, 22 Jun 2009 18:49:35 +0100
