Neda Soltan

Protesters in Iran are hailing 26-year-old Neda Soltan as a martyr after graphic videos of her apparent murder at a protest in Tehran hit the Internet. Iran experts say images of her bloody death have galvanized the country and that mourning for her — which has been banned by authorities — will bring deeper unrest.
"Neda," whose identity could not be verified by FOXNews.com, was reportedly gunned down by paramilitary police Saturday during protests in the capital city. Videos posted on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter show her bleeding from the nose and mouth as a crowd tries unsuccessfully to stanch the flow and save her life.
The video also shows a moving clip of a man identified as her professor cradling her head and yelling out, "Neda, don't be afraid. Neda, stay with me. Neda stay with me!”

Do these look to you like the same person?
bookmark ...lovely Nida
pretty much....
She is beautiful. I hope someday there is a statue of her where she fell.
Imagine being forced to always wear a headscarf of some sort... I hope one of them strangles the mad mullah of Iran with her scarf!
OH GOD, I just heard on FOXNEWS that the “LORD OF THE FLIES” will be holding his fourth news conference. FOURTH? More like his millionth!!!...GOD PLEASE SHARE US...PLEASE!!!!!
I am terrible with faces but the eyebrows and mouth width match up. And the part in her hair.
Actually, not at all, even given a different camera angle. You are suggesting ...?
Yes...same person. The bangs and the lighting and a few years age difference between the images is all.
The eyebrows, nose and lips are identical.
I mean: it does you credit that you are skeptical, but I believe these are indeed images of the same person.
Hey, that's nothing. Did you hear The Messiah was "moved" by what's going on in Iran? Allah be praised!
With Zero, it's always about him.
I agree. They are the same person.
They could be the same, what with make up and hairstyles now a days. My daughter can look drastically different from day to day as she is an aspiring model!
None the less... she has already become far more powerful in death than she could have hoped to ever be in life. Kind of a shame, really.
What IS the latest from Iran, I wonder. No HOT posts here today?
Well, not so much skeptical, just the slight difference making me wonder if there was an age difference of a few years. But, then too, there is so much disinformation flying around on the net, you still wonder about things - you know what I mean.
