RIP Neda

(QUOTE) “I have one vote. I gave it to Mousavi. I have one life. I will give it for freedom.”

May her death not be in vain…

“Her name was Neda….
I find it rather fitting that ‘Neda’ (the girls name) means ‘voice’ or ‘call’ in Farsi. (UNQUOTE)

(CNN) — “RIP NEDA, The World cries seeing your last breath, you didn’t die in vain. We remember you.”

Like most of the information coming out of Tehran, it is impossible to verify her name, Neda, or the circumstances of her apparent death, captured close-up on a bystander’s camera.

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) — “The possibility of organized and comprehensive disruption and irregularities in this election is almost close to zero given the composition of the people who are holding the election,” Mottaki said.

He blamed Britain for interfering in the elections, saying it had been planning against the vote for more than a year.

“We witnessed an influx of people from the UK ahead of the election,” he said, without offering specifics.

Mottaki accused Britain of supporting followers of the Baha’i faith, a religion that originated in 19th-century Persia but which Iran does not recognize.

[In another interview with BBC he used the decision of the U.K. and Blair to invade Iraq without U.N. approval as an argument for the West not to interfere with Iran’s democracy – Oui].

Iran’s Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani suggests that some of the members in the Guardian Council have sided with a certain candidate in the June 12 presidential election.

Speaking live on the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) Channel 2 on Saturday, the speaker said that “a majority of people are of the opinion that the actual election results are different than what was officially announced.”

“The opinion of this majority should be respected and a line should be drawn between them and rioters and miscreants,” he was quoted as saying by KhabarOnline — a website affiliated with him.
