New details, image and video of Neda Iran emerge

neda-iran

New details, an image and video of slain Iranian protester Neda Iran have found their way online.

According to reports from inside Iran, Neda was a 27 year old philosophy student who was attending the protests with her lecturer and fellow students. The reports claim that she was seemingly shot at random by a member of the Iranian Basij volunteer militia who drove past on a motorbike. The image above is said to show Neda Iran, real name Neda Agha Soltan posing for a identity document.

The new video (below) of Neda shows her before being shot. I think AllahPundit at HotAir put it so well:

I hope to god this isn’t really her…because the thought of her being so beautiful and dignified makes the murder somehow that much more obscene….If there’s any justice, there’ll be videos like this of Khamenei and Ahmadinejad someday soon.

For the original video, see Neda Iran video.

  1. Iranian militia and Mola should be embarassed and ashamed at causing the deaths of human beings, it puts doubt in my mind as to what kind of people run Iran, murderers!
    Ghomeini and his deciples as well as ahmad what ever should be hung by their private parts to realise the pain they have caused to family's of the slain in Iran, to feel the pain of shame, to realise that they are wrong, and stop shifting the blame.

    You look at the actions of a few and condemn the entire population? The US is responsible for the deaths of over 1 million Iraqi civilians who died as a result of an unprovoked and unjustified war. People are killed in western protests all the time and their deaths are as significant as any in the Middle East. There is NO difference between the people of Canada, the United States, and Iran. They have families whom they love, work hard at their jobs, and dream of a better future. There are no problems in the cultures of the Middle East that have not plagued the cultures of the western world in the past or continue to do so today. Canada was bound by its treaty obligations to arrest Bush for war crimes when he traveled there to do a speech recently. Your country did nothing. Your government disregarded the law and its promises – it's no better than the US, my country. We emphasize ideals and god-given human rights and we fail to apply those ideals evenly to all people.

    >>>thank-god i live in a civilized country,canada.<<<<

    LOL funniest thing I've read thus far and I'm only 3 in. Canada is not overly civilized, what part of Canada do you live in where people aren't randomly stabbed, jumped, robbed, shot, assaulted, raped, murdered, abused (sexually physically mentally), breaking up families, swinging sex clubs, wrongful convictions, abusing the homeless for kicks, allowing heroin addicts safe places to do their thing, fine people for swearing, or not holding handrails fer christs sakes, sensitivity training, and I'm sure I could go on and on.

    Canada is a great country yes, but we aren't civilized and don't think that one day certain parts of Canada wont look like that, Montreal is already gone to the dogs and the police didn't do squat.

    Stop pretending to care about others in various countries when you don't have a shred of a clue on what's going on in your own back yard.

    Well then tell Iranians and other Eastern immigrants to stop asking us to get involved, but wait! if the host countries ignore your pleas for help, you'll go nanas, scream on the net and all media mediums claiming how racist we all are for NOT getting involved.

    Can't have it both ways.

    Canada was bound by its treaty obligations to arrest Bush for war crimes when he traveled there to do a speech recently. Your country did nothing.<<

    Because he isn't a war criminal, and most Canadians aren't that retarded. Come to think of it, anyone who has a lick of sense knows it, including the once very oppressed
    Iraqi's who seemed to me, very thrilled at the very thought of toppling Saddam's statue.

    If you want to go after Bush, you'd better nail Clinton too, he was impeached, oh and had Osama in his clutches and let him go.

    are you kidding me?!?! what the hell is wrong with you? it isn't that they have no respect for life you dumbass. there are people who believe different things, and the government of Iran is trying to survive. Of course they are approaching it in a terrible terrible way, but that does not mean that people in that section of the world don't value life. get your facts straight you ignorant tim.

    ok reality cheque- no one in iran is asking for help. they are simply sharing their story, and want to make sure they have witnesses about the injustice that is happening to the innocent people who are protesting. i really want to know where you read your news…

    By the Iranians posting the events constantly on twitter and where-ever else, they are in a sense asking for help (who uploads a death in realtime with video? Scream for help right there), it's only a matter of time before immigrated Iranians go to their local politicians and governments and or protest like the Tamils did in Toronto and all over Canada, but not to the extent of blocking off a major highway most would hope.

    Ham-on-dijon-mad has made his views on the west no secret, and I for one am glad they are protesting the election, however, I do question what it signifies, I don't know much about the other guy who ran or what political stance he and his party represent so I can't make a sound call there.

    However, the thing I agree about with the election is that they want the madman out and are willing to die and get beaten for it, and rest assured when that escalates further like it did in Iraq, I doubt people will be calling obama a war monger if and WHEN the US goes into Iran.

    The east always tells the west not to interfere until the body count goes up, that's just part of the repeated history between the east and west, and the east tends to be very ungrateful when the job is done.

    such a beautiful, and innocent young woman. now she is with God, and in a better place. i feel very bad for her family, and her friends. altho i am not a muslim myself, i have read the Q,uran, and it says to kill 1 innocent person, is to kill all people. the person who murdered this innocent is an infidel of the highest level, as are all those who murder. i hope that people everywhere will be free one day to live their lives as they see fit, and to worship God as they choose, not as they are told. to her family i say that i, as a father of 3 women, share in your loss, and know you will join her again some day in paradise, where she waits now for you in the presence of Almighty God, where she is safe, and alive, and happy. i hope the iranian people get the man they voted for, and i hope 1 day all people can have love, and respect for others, and their differences. may God bless Her family, and comfort them in this most sad, and terrible time for them

    Neda, je regarde ton beau visage et le monde entier sait que des “méchants” t'on repris la vie.
    Tu es devenue le symbole de tes frères en Iran qui luttaient comme toi pour la démocratie.
    Neda, il était trop tôt pour que tu partes et cette injustice, nous la crions avec vous, partout.
    Neda tu restes avec nous. On te pleure et on regrette que tu ne sois plus parmi nous.
    Honte à ceux qui t'ont fait celà.
    Neda tu restes dans nos coeurs et dans nos esprits.
    Je t'envoies une rose rouge et une rose blanche.

    never mind the politics, a young woman is dead by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.if the police shot an anti gordon brown protester in manchester how would we react. an innocent girl is dead because she wanted change.its a sign that the whole world stinks and we the people of the world regardless of religion are nothing to our so called political leaders.

    Moments ago, after (regretfully) watching a young woman die, I was wiping tears from my eyes and checking on my peaceful, sleeping, six year old daughter………….panically asking God to protect her and keep her safe because I couldn't live without her….. Now, I sit here reading the above comments, which include rantings like “my country is better than your country” and “look at how much I know about politics, geography…..name drop…..other countries doctrines and laws….name drop…”, and wondering why there are no comments concerning the basics of this tragedy. Strip away ethnicity, locality, politics, religion, legalities and any other pile of “I watch CNN and can speak big words” crap……….and you end up with a phone camera video of someone's daughter, sister, or friend……shot in the throat, blood running from her nose and mouth and looking directly at you as she mercilessly dies. Just for a moment, picture the person you love the most in that exact same situation….helpless, scared, dying…….and also, for a moment aware of some sociopathic asshole filming his/her last moment. Imagine what Neda was thinking as she faded away. Do you believe she was thinking about her country, our country, politics or religion? No. I would bet my life that her last thoughts involved the most important people in her life, of whom, she greatly loved…
    I'm ashamed of myself for, out of nothing other than morbid curiosity, knowingly watching someone's child die in the street; and, as punishment….will be haunted by the images for a very long time. I'm ashamed of the rest of you for either; never having learned or forgetting your humanity and ability to feel true empathy for anothers suffering.
