Neda, young girl brutally killed in Iran, becoming symbol of rebellion

    Her name is Neda, which means "voice" in Farsi, and her death has become the central rallying cry of the Iranian rebellion.

    The fresh-faced teenage girl killed by what appears to be a single sniper shot on the streets of Tehran Saturday is now a potent symbol for Iran's pro-democracy protesters.

    Her shocking and quick death in the arms of her howling father was captured on closeup video, posted to Facebook and came to life on computer screens across the globe.


    Reporters Without Borders said 33 Iranian journalists and bloggers have been arrested even as the foreign press was barred from the streets .

    "The regime has been visibly shaken by its own population. That is why the media have become a priority target," Reporters Without Borders said.

    BBC's lead reporter in Tehran was subsequently told he had 24 hours to leave the country.
    A Life.com magazine photographer was missing, and a Newsweek reporter arrested.



    One of the many other videos of the Tehran protests uploaded to YouTube captured the girl in the last moments of her life, standing on a curb with her silver-haired father, watching the protesters go by.

    I think I read somewhere that she was shot point blank in the heart by one of the secret police's snipers. A defensless 17 year old. This is disgusting. :(
