The Lesson of Neda: Government Murders the Opposition

The unfolding situation in Iran demonstrates a primary historical fact — when confronted with potent opposition government will invariably resort to murder, as the video here reveals.

On Saturday, the Iranian Basiji, a paramilitary group of street thugs connected to the Revolutionary Guards, murdered a young woman named Neda (the word translates as “voice” in Farsi). Neda (which is probably not the woman’s real name) has become a symbol for the opposition in Iran.

Regardless of the fact the opposition in Iran is largely a “color revolution” manifestation of the CIA and globalist “democracy” NGOs, the murder of Neda serves as a warning — government, no matter the stripe, will kill the opposition if and when it becomes a serious threat.

Please note: the video here is very graphic and difficult to watch.

An Iranian woman looks up at the camera as she lies dying on the streets of Tehran after Saturday’s democracy protests.

Blood starts to pour from her mouth and her nose. Her eyes roll back as men scramble vainly to keep her alive.

The woman, named today as 27-year-old Neda Agha Soltani, had been shot through the heart. She died within minutes.

Her name even became a ‘trending topic’ on Twitter, showing that had become one of the most-repeated words on the microblogging site. Tribute websites have also begun to spring up.

A Facebook group created to mourn her calls her ‘The Angel of Iran.’

‘RIP Neda, the world cries seeing your last breath,’ was one of a flood of trbute messages on Twitter.
