Abjeez - Tu me haces falta (Jaye to khalie) - Neda

The footage of the death of Neda Agha-Soltan (Persian: ندا آقا سلطان - Nedā Āġā Soltān; January 23rd, 1982 June 20, 2009) drew international attention after she was killed during the 2009 Iranian election protests. Her death was captured on video by bystanders and broadcast over the Internet and the video became a rallying point for the reformist opposition. Nedā (ندا) is a word used in Persian to mean "voice", "calling," or "divine message," and she has been referred to as the "voice of Iran." She was filmed as she lay dying on the street. Her death thus became iconic in the struggle of Iranian protesters against what they said was the fraudulent election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
On November 16, 2009, supporters of the Iranian regime had desecrated her grave and removed her gravestone. Later, in December 31, 2009, supporters of the Iranian Government defaced the portrait on her grave by shooting at it multiple times.
