“Neda, don’t be afraid. Neda, don’t be afraid. Neda, stay with me. Neda stay with me!”
At 19:05 June 20th
Place: Karekar Ave. (at the corner crossing Khosravi St. and Salehi st.)
A young woman who was standing aside with her father watching the protests was shot by a basij member hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house. He had clear shot at the girl and could not miss her. However, he aimed straight her heart. I am a doctor, so I rushed to try to save her. But the impact of the gunshot was so fierce that the bullet had blasted inside the victim's chest, and she died in less than 2 minutes.
The protests were going on about 1 kilometers away in the main street and some of the protesting crowd were running from tear gas used among them, towards Salehi St.
The film is shot by my friend who was standing beside me.
Please let the world know.
Her name was NEDA and she was 16 years old - let the world know.
The rage and sadness within me right now is indescribable! The Islamic Republic will be brought to justice for the crimes against humanity which they have committed for the past 30 years and which today have intensified further with scores of innocent people having been killed in cold blood! Please spread these news and put pressure on your political representatives to condemn these crimes and to TAKE CONCRETE ACTIONS to support the people of Iran who are being slaughtered by the Islamic Republic!!!

UPDATE 2:
Someone is reporting on Iranian radio that an elderly woman who was fighting back with her supporting cane was shot dead in Tehran.
Demonstrations in provincial cities are said to be heavier and are being met with even more violence by the Islamic Republic's security forces.
Phone lines are cut and internet speed is extremely slow across the country.
UPDATE 3:
A 12 year old boy has been killed (GRAPHIC & DISTURBING IMAGES 18+):
Hospital close to the scene in Tehran: 30-40 dead thus far as of 11pm and 200 injured. Police taking names of incoming injured.
Shame on a country in which foreign embassies are safer than hospitals
