The revolution currently taking place in Tehren, Iran now has a face and a voice. Her name is Neda Falehi. Neda was shot in the chest allegedly by a Basij (police) sniper, who fired upon the crowd as they peacefully demonstrated against the fixed elections held in Iran last week. She was only 16-years-old.
The video begins as a mortally wounded Neda slumps to the ground, assisted by her grieving father and a bystander. The men begin chest compressions to no avail. The sniper’s bullet likely tore through her heart and lung. Blood quickly fills up Neda’s lungs and pours from her nose and mouth. As Neda dies, a martyr is born.
