Neda Agha Soltani, 27 year old Philosophy student from Tehran, Iran. Her name 'Neda' means 'Voice or Calling'. God rest her soul.
God I pray for this nation, these people and their struggle.
Visit them with Mercy, grace, justice and liberty.
Let salvation bloom in the blood of sacrifice.
Tear...but heal, divide but mend,
Hear the blood crying from the ground,
Bring peace in the chaos,
Freedom through the horror.
Carry the parents, the family and friends,
and let the one who died with her eyes open...
be the voice that prevents our eyes from remaining shut.

It gets real when you put a face on things, doesn't it.
Sobering...

One small voice in a nation of millions IS powerful. Iranian Islamic government has alot to answer for... God represents Love, not hate.
Iran has something to answer for when it comes to treatment of it's people, especially its women.
What a sad story, but Neda will not be forgotten!
This video is......words escape me, but as I sit here wondering what her father feels and thinks of her heroism and courage to stand for what she believes in it leaves me choked and teared. I'm proud of this girl who is a stranger to me, but a sister.
I pray to God her death and all of those who have laid down their lives for a just cause will never die in vain.
This is a disturbing video, but I need to be disturbed, I need to be shocked, but I pray somehow in all this madness her loved ones will find a peace that escapes me just now.
Love Dad
This reminds me of something that happened right here in the US not that long ago. Most of this blogs readers were born too late to remember Kent State. (Except you Fred). The similarities, to me, are striking indeed. A person excercising their right to protest what they feel is an unjust situation is gunned down in cold blood by government troops.
This is sadly nothing new.
