40 Days Since Neda’s Death

Neda Agha Soltan, killed in Tehran June 20

Since I wrote about the murder of Neda Agha Soltan in Tehran on June 20, I wanted to follow up with this moving and powerful story from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty … an interview with Neda’s mother:

July 30 marks 40 days since the death of 27-year-old Neda Agha Soltan, who has become a symbol of Iran’s brutally suppressed “Green movement” protesting the results of last month’s presidential election. Neda was shot dead during a peaceful protest on June 20 in Tehran, and the video of her bleeding to death on the street has been watched by millions of people around the world. RFE/RL’s Radio Farda broadcaster Roya Karimi talked with Neda’s mother.
