    Unedited footage of Neda Agha-Soltan's murder.
    Posted to Neda is her name.

    As imagens do assassínio de Neda ainda estão comigo. Acredito que sempre estarão. Como as imagens de Mohammed al-Durrah, o rapaz de 12 anos morto com o seu pai durante a Intifada de 2000, em Gaza. Ao contrário da imagem do homem do tanque fotografada por Jeff Widener em Tiananmen, em 1989, as imagens de Neda e Mohammed mostram a morte de completos inocentes, mortos apenas por estar ali. Não estavam em frente a um blindado. Estavam apenas na rua, no dia em que morreram. Neda Agha-Soltan não estava a atirar pedras aos Basiji ou a gritar contra o regime dos Ayatollahs, nem sequer estava perto de manifestantes a agir desse modo. Era uma mulher que caminhava na rua, vindo de ou indo para uma manifestação contra o governo que oprime o seu povo, um direito concedido pela constituição iraniana. Apesar disso, foi seleccionada e abatida a sangue frio enquanto caminhava pacificamente, no que é um sinal claro da verdadeira natureza do regime Iraniano: o fascismo. Ela era uma mulher no Irão. Uma mulher que, como tantas outras, de tantas e tão variadas formas, aspirava por mudança. Ela, como tantas outras mulheres iranianas, ganharam nova esperança com o movimento nas ruas de Teerão, de Esfahan, de Tabriz, de Kerman, grassando como fogo em palha seca. Isto faz da sua morte um símbolo maior para os que buscam a liberdade, pois verdadeira liberdade implica a dignidade do ser-humano e o ser-humano não tem dignidade quando os seus direitos básicos são suprimidos....

    The images of Neda's murder are still in my mind. I believe they always will be. Like the image of Mohammed al-Durrah, the 12 years old boy shot with his father during the 2000 intifada in Gaza. Unlike the tank man image taken by Jeff Widener in Tiananmen square in 1989, Neda and Mohammed's images show the death of completely innocent people, that were killed just because they were there. They were not standing in front of a tank. They were just on the street, the day they died. Neda Agha-Soltan was not throwing rocks at the Basiji or shouting against the Ayatollahs' regime; she wasn't even near a group of protesters doing those things. She was a woman walking on the street, coming from or going to a demonstration against the government that oppresses her people, a right granted to citizens by the Iranian constitution. Yet, she was singled out and shot in cold blood as she was walking peacefully, in what is a clear sign of the true nature of the Iranian regime: fascism. She was a woman in Iran. A woman that like so many others in so many different ways aspired for change. She, like so many other women in Iran, was given new hope by the movement on the streets of Tehran, Esfahan, Tabriz, Kerman, spreading like fire through dry grassland. This makes her death a much greater symbol for those seeking freedom, for true freedom means human dignity and you can't have human dignity...
