There’s a couple of pictures of a young woman currently circulating around the Internet. Her name is Neda Agha-Soltan.
Neda.
One picture reflects a serious yet serene demeanor, a look of calm resolution. The other shows a relaxed, winsome mood. They both show a beautiful young woman, one blessed with the kind of looks that turns heads. A true heartbreaker.
Until some thug hired by her government fired a bullet through her heart, leaving her to die on a street where a minute before she had been watching a demonstration. Not even participating. Just watching.
Her government killed her, then forbid her family to have a memorial service. The government of a country she loved. The government that claims to be the protector of a religion she followed. Her government.
The Iranian government.
Dear Lord, forgive her of whatever sins she committed in her life and bring her into your eternal presence.
Do with her murderers what you will.
