More Details Emege of Neda's Death
The doctor who tried to save an Iranian protester as she bled to death on a street in Tehran has told the BBC of her final moments.Dr Arash Hejazi, who is studying at a university in the south of England, said he ran to Neda Agha-Soltan's aid after seeing she had been shot in the chest. Dr Hejazi also told how passers-by then seized an armed Basij militia volunteer who appeared to admit shooting Ms Soltan. "We heard a gunshot. Neda was standing one metre away from me. I turned back and I saw blood gushing out of Neda's chest." "She was in a shocked situation, just looking at her chest. Then she lost her control. "We ran to her and lay her on the ground. I saw the bullet wound just below the neck with blood gushing out." "I have never seen such a thing because the bullet, it seemed to have blasted inside her chest, and later on, blood exiting from her mouth and nose. I had the impression that it had hit the lung as well. Her blood was draining out of her body and I was just putting pressure on the wound to try to stop the bleeding, which wasn't successful unfortunately, and she died in less than one minute." Dr Hejazi said he first thought the gunshot had come from a rooftop. But later he saw protesters grab an armed man on a motorcycle. "People shouted 'we got him, we got him'. They disarmed him and took out his identity card which showed he was a Basij member. People were furious and he was shouting, 'I didn't want to kill her'. "People didn't know what do to do with him so they let him go. But they took his identity card. There are people there who know who he is. Some people were also taking photos of him." It would be nice to post this murderer's ID and photos on the web. Posted by: Frozen Al 2009-06-26 |
