Neda Agha Soltan

The Green Revolution now has a face for its "martyrdom." Her name, according to rumors, was Neda Agha Soltan, a 27 year old philosophy student.

She was allegedly shot by a Basij militia member on a motorcycle while demonstrating.

Here is the video of the aftermath. Warning, this ain't make believe and it is a very graphic and brutal reality of what happens in situations like this.




We are not here to triumph by fighting, by strata gem, or by resistance, not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast and have conquered. We have only to conquer now, by suffering. This is the easier victory.

~T.S. Elliot

Rest in Peace.
