Neda Agha Sultan (her name is variously given as
Neda Soltani, Neda Sultan, Neda Agha Soltan, Neda Agha Sultan, the
differences coming from a combination of the different languages of
Farsi and English and tha fact that they don't use the same
alphabet) was the young woman shot dead during the demonstrations
over the Iranian electoral fraud of last week. |
| |
There was a video taken of her death: showing the
ubiquity of camera phones around the world. And, of course, the
Neda Agha Sultan video was immediately loaded into Facebook,
YouTube and all of the other social media. It's a textbook example
of how the world has changed technologically since Tiananmen, since
the Berlin Wall fell. |
| |
Neda Agha Sultan was not the first to die in these
protests and probably will not be the last. But she's probably the
one that we will all remember, however little that is of comfort to
her or those she left behind. |
