This iReport is part of an assignment:
Unrest in Iran |
NEDA Salehi a few minutes before getting shot by basijis.
Neda Agha-Soltan was born in 1982.
She was shot by a Basiji hiding in a building. Buried on 21st June, 2009 in
the south of Tehran. The memorial service
was cancelled on orders from authorities.
Hamed Rad who was present at the scene writes about the event:
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.
