An Iranian Woman Cries For Help

"Iran has executed its Tiananmen Square. Baharestan Square has become synonymous with barbarity, cruelty, massacre and inhumanity." - Mark Levin.

An anonymous Iranian woman reports on the savage violence perpetrated against protesters in Tehran and cries for help.

Meanwhile, Obama and the United Nations do nothing.



This graphic video shows the murder of Neda Agha-Soltan:



What kind of regime would brutally murder its own people? Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his Islamo-Nazis need to be eliminated! Some "holy man"!

It has also been reported that the family of Neda Agha-Soltan were thrown out of their home by Iranian authorities (i.e., thugs).

According to The Guardian (U.K.):

Neighbours said that her family no longer lives in the four-floor apartment building on Meshkini Street, in eastern Tehran, having been forced to move since she was killed. The police did not hand the body back to her family, her funeral was cancelled, she was buried without letting her family know and the government banned mourning ceremonies at mosques, the neighbors said.

"We just know that they [the family] were forced to leave their flat," a neighbour said. The Guardian was unable to contact the family directly to confirm if they had been forced to leave.

Neda Agha-Soltan, Martyr of Iran

Neda Soltan, 26, became the "Joan of Ark" of Iran when she was killed during the uprising over the sham election that was held a week ago. She was an innocent bystander when she was shot. She was described as interested in music, not politics.

The Los Angeles Times reports:

Hamid Panahi, her friend and music teacher, told the Los Angeles Times how Miss Soltan was shot as they and two others were making their way to a demonstration in Freedom Square in central Tehran. Their car became stuck in traffic on Karegar Street and they got out for some air.

Mr. Panahi said that he heard a distant crack and saw Miss Soltan instantly collapse to the ground.

"We were stuck in traffic and we got out and stood to watch and, without her throwing a rock or anything, they shot her," he said. "It was just one bullet."

He later heard other witnesses claiming that the gunman was not a police officer but one of a group of plainclothes officials or Basiji militia.

He recalled watching in horror as blood came out of her chest and then began to bubble from her nose and mouth - footage that bystanders captured on their mobile phones and posted on the internet, where she has become a global phenomenon.

Iranian authorities are trying to prevent Soltan from becoming a martyr by demanding that her family remove black mourning banners from their home and not allowing a funeral service in a mosque. Posters of Neda Soltan's face have appeared all over Iran.

All mosques were given a direct order from the government barring them from holding any memorial services for Neda, and her family was threatened with grave consequences if anyone gathered to mourn her, according to FoxNews.

A regime who would kill innocent citizens should be overthown.

Obama Gets Off His Butt On Iran



FoxNews.com is reporting that President Obama has finally issued a statement on Iran:

"The universal rights to assembly and free speech must be respected and the United States stands with all who seek to exercise those rights," Obama said in a written statement.

Obama referenced his speech this month to the Muslim world, saying "suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away. The Iranian people will ultimately judge the actions of their own government. If the Iranian government seeks the respect of the international community, it must respect the dignity of its own people and govern through consent, not coercion."

Obama also cited the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s, famous quote: "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."

"I believe that," Obama said. "The international community believes that. And right now, we are bearing witness to the Iranian peoples' belief in that truth, and we will continue to bear witness."


The uprising over the sham Iranian elections has been going on for days, but up to now, Obama has only made timid comments on the situation fearing that he'd be seen as "meddling."

Although a little late to the party, it is about time Obama got off his butt to say something in support of the Iranian people, even though he had to be pressured to do so.
