Her Name was Neda

Heartbreaking.  Video released today from Iran showed a teenage girl shot in the chest and killed on the streets by the Iranian establishment's thugs.  A true tragedy.  However, she now becomes a symbol of bravery and resistance to all freedom seeking people, where ever they live:
Neda. That appears to be the name of the woman whose death in the streets today was captured on film, and has been broadcast around the world. I posted it earlier at 2:57 PM.

From Twitter, via Chas: "Her name was ندا (#Neda), which means voice or call in Farsi. She is the voice of the people, a call to freedom - RIP, Neda"

Neda's voice was used to seek freedom, let her call be heard by all her countrymen and grant them the courage to continue their struggle to their victorious end.  Let us never forget her name.
