Basij shots to death a young woman in Tehran's Saturday June 20th protests
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 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.
BreakForNews.com apologises to the family of the deceased woman for publishing these graphic photographs of her horrific death.
We publish in the hope of securing justice for the family in her murder.
Probably the most tragic thing I’ve ever seen. It really personifies the conflict and the brutal nature of the Iranian regime and what they are doing to the protesters there.
Well, it’s “game on” for the big freedom fight.
Unless you have seen violent death before … you might want to pass this video by. Just accept the facts presented in the posting.
Ping.
Meanwhile Hussein is staying out of the fray not wanting to ‘meddle in the internal affairs of Iran’. Is he still hoping they will “unclench their fist” ?
Wouldn’t it be nice if the Iraqis could return the favor to Iran and send in subversive elements?
I saw the video on HuffPo. Very disturbing.
I am afraid to watch it.
Which makes me a coward.
I will go watch it.
The time is long past for this regime to face the justice of the Iranian people. I think the people of the region are starting to realize that the theocracies which were revered for many decades are nothing but a sham. We need to support the people, but unfortunately we have the worst possible leadership to deal with this situation.
Why don't the protesters start killing some of the Clerics?
Honestly, that is what needs to happen.
Did you see it?
In Persian, Neda means divine message or voice.
May God hear my prayers for the soul of Neda, the divine message. May He give her peace and the freedom that she died seeking. May He also bless the ones who bring the light of truth to my eyes, so that those who seek darkness fail.
Pinged for home viewing.
Tell every liberal you talk to about Iran, that our 2nd Amendment will stop this crap from happening HERE!

Not any worse than the Islamic beheading videos from Iraq...sponsored by the now illegal government of Iran.
What popped into my mind was Odumbo’s declaration that he would meet Ahmadinejad without preconditions. He grovels at the feet of monsters.
I spent over 28 years associated with the police department of a major US city. I’ve seen much death and destruction in my time and I found this video disturbing.
I went there once. I felt like Mike Rowe.
No offense, but I don’t need to see it. It won’t make me any more mad than I am now.
Tragic things like this are going on. Meanwhile our “commander and chief” is silent.
It is unbelievable that we have a ‘president’ that doesn’t speak out in support of people fighting for freedom. We have a poodle sitting behind the bully pulpit.
Hussein has spoken out more aggressively against Rush Limbaugh and FNC than he has the mullahs of Iran.
Pathetic!
Almost certainly she was targeted becaus she was not wearing a headscarf.
And Odumbo cannot even bring himslef to speak against this brutality. Effing coward.
Please, let me know your impressions after viewing it.
That is the most tragic thing I’ve ever watched. Fitting her name was Neda, meaning “voice”, for she was a voice for freedom in Iran. She is a true martyr, unlike those idiots who blow themselves up in public.
newsworthy bookmark bump.
Ice cream, anyone? /sarc
No, it doesn't.
You don't have to live through Neda's death to understand the horrific brutality of those who murdered her, and to support her countrymen's battle for freedom.
Meanwhile, Hussein is eating custard, ignoring North Korea, tsk-tsking the Iranian government, and cutting deals with pharmacy companies for GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED HEALTH CARE.
Hussein, remember, THINKS THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO GO NUCLEAR.
What a great leader. not.
yes, I’ve seen it
I looked at the pics. These are not the first photos of people shot dead in the last several days on the streets of Iran.
you may not want to watch it right before bed
We have a coward in the White House who cannot even bring himself to denounce this repression and brutality.
That's your typical angry liberal for you. They can huff and puff, and hurl the nastiest of insults at good and righteous people (who are safe targets).
But, let some brutal, dictatorial monster kill thousands - even millions of innocent people, and they are silent. It's because they are essentially worthless cowards.
They cannot confront real evil. Instead, they placate and appease it (witness Obama's bow to the king of Saudi Arabia).
This is why you won't hear Obama come out strongly and unequivocally in support of the Iranian people's revolt against tyranny.
We take our freedoms for granted here. I wish Zero would watch it. I couldn’t watch it without crying.
someone gets deliberately shot while not near the protest... just simply watching?
hmm. two possibilities.
1. current regime wants to make people fear being in the vicinity of any protests, thereby hoping to reduce support.
2. pro-protest gunman shoots sympathetic woman to create a martyr for the cause.
This was posted from Neda’s sister:
Yesterday I wrote a note, with the subject line “tomorrow is a great day perhaps tomorrow I’ll be killed.” I’m here to let you know I’m alive but my sister was killed...
I’m here to tell you my sister died while in her father’s hands
I’m here to tell you my sister had big dreams...
I’m here to tell you my sister who died was a decent person... and like me yearned for a day when her hair would be swept by the wind... and like me read “Forough” [Forough Farrokhzad]... and longed to live free and equal... and she longed to hold her head up and announce, “I’m Iranian”... and she longed to one day fall in love to a man with a shaggy hair... and she longed for a daughter to braid her hair and sing lullaby by her crib...
my sister died from not having life... my sister died as injustice has no end... my sister died since she loved life too much... and my sister died since she lovingly cared for people...
my loving sister, I wish you had closed your eyes when your time had come... the very end of your last glance burns my soul....
sister have a short sleep. your last dream be sweet.
(at the Huffpo)
Her headscarf is laying under her head.
Her father crying ... made me wish that I had the volume muted.
With so many other targets, I wonder why this sniper selected a young girl who was relatively uninvolved. Lon Horiuchi has a spiritual brother over there, I see.
Yeah, me too. :(
Check out the comments at your link ... wow!!
3rd possibility is a Arab (Hamas or Hezb’Allah islamist import) noticed a young woman without a headscarf or veil and then took appropriate actions according to their 7th century gutter religion.
Very much approval of the sentiments therein.
Cheers on that.
Prayers up for the people of Iran, and Neda's family...
Prayers that our Lord will have mercy on her soul.
Normally that would be true. But they are so hard pressed for ratings now, they will do anything for a buck.
Result: No crowds, no cameras, no protesters.
Fear.
Install fear in the onlookers, and they go away.
Once they go, so go the cameras.
When they go, so go the protesters.
