Neda was just one of a kind young Iranian who passed away in a rally by shooting of a sniper in chest. She was 27 years old philosophy student and like any other Iranian girl or boy were dreaming to see a proud and free Iran. After spreading the annoying cell phone made video of Neda's death in Tehran protests of 20th June, I saw very different reactions from people. It was deeply bothering for Iranian people of course. In western world majority had the same feeling but some of Americans who like to being called Aryans believed the video is fake and made by Jews. Muslims and Arabs were saying it's also fake because they probably love Ahmadinejad much more than people of Iran... (makes sense) and they don't like accept their hero kills the innocent people.
But I think what bothers Iranian people the most is how Iranian media and TV are ignoring the crimes happening in the streets by regime. They show there are some chaos happening in the big cities by anarchists and people want it stops and thank police for opposing these vandals. Obviously they never show Neda video on TV. Years a go they made a strong propaganda against Israel about killing the Palestinian kid, Mohammad al-Dora and painted a big mural of him and his father who were shot by Israeli soldiers (?) but there is no doubt they won't paint any mural for Neda in her hometown.
Instead, the regime asked 50 000US$ to return Neda's death body to her parents. Her family had lots of troubles for burying her body and parents were forbidden to make any funeral for their daughter.
