Neda of Iran identified as Neda Agha Sultan (aka Soltan) by her fiance. Neda Agha Sultan is the complete name of the woman in Iran featured on LALATE last weekend and around the globe during a horrible event in Tehran.
Her fiance Kasamin Makan today confirms her complete name to BBC News. Makan says:
“Neda’s goal was not Mousavi or Ahmadinejad, it was her country and was important for her to fight for this goal. She had said … it was important for her to continue in this path.”
As LALATE reported last weekend, the above photos of Neda Agha Sultan are now being used in protests worldwide, from Los Angeles to Tehran. Her video was first posted online three days ago, on June 20, with a description that the event occurred on Karekar Ave., at the corner crossing Khosravi St. and Salehi St:
“A young woman who was standing aside with her father watching the protests”.
The videographer YouTuber, who states to be a physician, describes the video as:
“…. basij member hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house…. [S]ome of the protesting crowd were running… towards Salehi St.”
Last Sunday in Los Angeles local residents gathered at the Federal Building in Westwood, California with posters of Neda Agha Sultan in hand.
