Neda Iran Video Truth! Neda, an innocent Iranian woman, was cruelly shot dead in Tehran’s Saturday June 20th protests against a vote-rigging June 12’s election by the Basjis, the pro-Iranian hardliner President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad state militia. Neda’s final moments was recorded on a video and uploaded onto the internet. Neda video truth was told by Hamed Rad on his Facebook page:
At 19:05 June 20th
Place: Karekar Ave., at the corner crossing Khosravi St. and Salehi st.
A young woman who was standing aside with her father [her music teacher Hamid Panahi] watching the protests was shot by a basij member hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house. He had clear shot at the girl and could not miss her. However, he aimed straight her heart. I am a doctor, so I rushed to try to save her. But the impact of the gunshot was so fierce that the bullet had blasted inside the victim’s chest, and she died in less than 2 minutes.
The protests were going on about 1 kilometers away in the main street and some of the protesting crowd were running from tear gass used among them, towards Salehi St.
The film is shot by my friend who was standing beside me.
Please let the world know.
Neda video demonstrates how Ali Khamenei-Ahmadinejad regime is oppressive and dictatorial. Go for Mir Hossein Mousavi!
Update: Neda’s fullname is Neda Agha Sultan, also Neda Agha Soltani by some. Neda has become an international icon who was praised for her fearlessness to protest against Iranian Goverment for the irregular election.
