A Shot Heard Round the World
Most media coverage of the protests that greeted Iran's widely
disparaged presidential election results were already being captured
and transmitted by cameraphone and text message, so it's perhaps only
fitting that the last moments of 26-year-old Neda Agha-Soltan's life
were captured on a grainy cellphone video. The 40-second clip, which
has become an internet sensation, is a graphic testament to the
protests' brutal suppression: Neda, searching the camera with helpless
eyes, struggles for life after being shot in the chest during a Tehran
street demonstration, as bystanders crowd around desperately trying to
help. Her name, which is Farsi for "voice" or "calling" has become a
rallying cry for the growing opposition movement and a symbol of their
resistance.
