President Obama, my name is Neda!

Dear Mr. President Obama,
My name is Neda Agha Soltan. I was killed by a Basij in a street of Tehran while watching a post-election protest. Perhaps you remember me. Millions people watched me die in less than... 40 seconds. Perhaps you remember my open eyes when I took my last breath. But I will live for ever in the memory of freedom loving people of the world. I have become the guardian angle of my sisters and brothers who are fighting for a free Iran ; I have become their voice and that is why I am writing to you.

Just imagine one of your daughters dying in the same way as I did! How would you feel if not only the killer went unpunished but got rewarded for what they did? What would you tell millions of Iranian young people who are feeling that the beacon of freedom has betrayed them by shaking hands with killers of their sisters and brothers? What would you tell your daughters if they asked why you are rewarding the killers of Neda?

I am the voice of people of Iran . I am calling upon you to support the democratic movement of people in Iran . I am not asking you to make war. I am not even asking you to help our struggle for freedom. I am just asking you not to support the government that has terrorized its own nation for 30 years. I am just asking you to stand on the side of humanity instead of oppression, torture, rape, and killing.
