Grave Of Wounded Young Woman on TwitPic


An Iranian blogger has uploaded to TwitPic what he says is a photograph of the grave of Neda Soltani, a young woman who was shot and killed on Saturday in Tehran. As we’ve reported over the past two days, the graphic video of the woman identified as Ms. Soltani, bleeding and in agony after being shot, has circulated widely online in the past 48 hours.
The photograph carries the caption: “NEDA sleep here.”

Twitter feed attributed to Mojtaba Samienejad, an Iranian blogger who has been detained in the past, reported about 20 minutes ago that a memorial for the young woman who was killed on Saturday, Neda Soltani, did take place on Monday in Tehran:
Conflict in Hafte Tir Sq between people and Basij and police
People are gathered for Neda Agha Soltan’s mourning / in Hftetir SQ
in all buildings in Hafte Tir , Poice with gun are staying
Reuters reported earlier that about 1,000 people had gathered in Tehran, possibly for this memorial. According to a later brief report from A.P., police used tear gas and shots fired in the air to disperse protesters.
