en.wikipedia.org — Neda Agha Soltan was an Iranian woman whose alleged killing by Basij militia during the 2009 Iranian election protests was captured on video by bystanders. The graphic videos were posted on the Internet, and her name quickly becoming a rallying cry for the pro-reform demonstration. Neda means "voice" in Persian.

I'm 100% for free and transparent elections in Iran, and I don't oppose Neda's "voice" being used as a rallying cry. Her death is a damned shame, and the 18(?) others who died that day.But if you need proof that details are easy to get wrong and easy to politicize the aftermath of a tragedy, look no further than the death of Cassie Bernall.Don't gripe at editors for trying to remain above the fray and wait for all the details to be investigated. Wikipedia is a place for best-available knowledge, not political statements.

I have to agree with the cynicism. It doesn't really matter how many Iranians want change. They aren't the ones with the guns over there, and the ones with the guns will gladly use them and probably think they did it in Allah's name.

She wasn't really protesting.. she just happened to get shot in the head. Still a noble face against atrocity but it's not like she made a Schindler's List or anything...
