If you haven't seen the "Neda" video yet then you should think twice about watching it in the raw and unedited form. You are literally watching someone die and it is far more disturbing than most would care to admit. The video as been shown on TV continually for the last few days but I haven't seen the unedited version on mainstream news, always the blurred version. Needless to say...the unedited version is a completely different experience especially without the terribly overwrought "sadness" that most news anchors are so bad at portraying. There's a reason why they are news anchors not actors and in situations like this I wish they would just shut up because they do nothing but cheapen the significance of the event.
The implications of this murder are yet to be determined but given the importance of Martyrs within the culture she is sure to be remembered if not venerated. She may have been formally identified if this wiki entry is to be assumed true.

I had not seen any of the video footage until I watched the unedited version you posted. Very powerful, very saddening.
Sad things is that it may just end up being another notch in some Basij's belt. They're pretty good at putting down rebellions.
