IRANIAN PARAMILITARY BASJI KILL UNARMED GIRL NEDA, BYSTANDER AT PROTESTS

| 1 Comment

Iran's plain-clothed thugs the Basji shot this young woman to death on the streets of Tehran this afternoon, Saturday, June 20. Posted via Twitter.

Very graphic. NOT for children to view.


Murdering their own people.

If this doesn't bring the corrupt theocracy down, what will?

Ralph Peters warned such a thing might happen if America did not speak up for freedom:

If we see greater violence in Tehran, the blood of those freedom marchers will be on our president's hands.

As Charles Krauthammer asked:

And where is our president? Afraid of "meddling." Afraid to take sides between the head-breaking, women-shackling exporters of terror -- and the people in the street yearning to breathe free. This from a president who fancies himself the restorer of America's moral standing in the world.

May this young woman find peace.

UPDATE FROM TEHRAN: The victim shot was not even among the protesters, yet she was murdered anyway. Her name was Neda Neda Agha-Soltan (not Neda Soltani, as originally reported). She was 26 she worked for a travel agency in Tehran. She was just watching with her father and was shot randomly by a snipe firing into a crowd. In the video her father has on the blue and white striped shirt.

At 19:05 June 20th, TEHRAN TIME

Place: Karekar Ave., at the corner crossing Khosravi St. and Salehi st.

A young woman who was standing aside with her father 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 kilometer away in the main street and some of the protesting crowd were running from tear gas used among them, towards Salehi St.

The film is shot by my friend who was standing beside me.

Please let the world know.

Neda might well become the symbol of the revolution.

More about Neda from Twitter.

A Twitter report: NEDA's family were banned from having funeral and any Wake for her at Mosques.
