A young Iranian woman named Neda Soltan was brutally murdered on this date last year for doing nothing more than expressing her opinion along as other like minded people did that day.No one has been caught. No one had been charged. We have seen a lot of posturing and we have seen fawning requests for picnics from our State Department, but no accountability and no compensation by the Iranian regime for the wanton murder of this individual.
Appropriately the first anniversary of her murder takes place on a Sunday, so that we can reflect on the small thing she did which brought her death.
If ever there was a case which calls out for justice it is the murder of Neda Soltan.
The latest news can be found here. I haven't fully checked out this organization so Caveat Emptor.
For my own purposes her photograph is on the main page of my personal blog and it will remain there until the person who pulled the trigger and the person who gave the kill order are charged tried, convicted and punished for Neda's murder.
