    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.
