Iran doctor tells of Neda's death (complete interview, part 2 of 2)

The doctor who tried to save an Iranian protester as she bled to death on a street in Tehran has told the BBC of her final moments.

Dr Arash Hejazi, who is studying at a university in the south of England, said he ran to Neda Agha-Soltan's aid after seeing she had been shot in the chest.

Despite his attempts to stop the bleeding she died in less than a minute, he said.

Video of Ms Soltan's death was posted on the internet and images of her have become a rallying point for Iranian opposition supporters around the world.

Dr Hejazi also told how passers-by then seized an armed Basij militia volunteer who appeared to admit shooting Ms Soltan.

Dr Hejazi said he had not slept for three nights following the incident, but he wanted to speak out so that her death was not in vain.

He doubted that he would be able to return to Iran after talking openly about Ms Soltan's killing.

C'est un remix que j'ai fait moi-même. La vidéo d'origine n'avait pas de musique.

Quant aux commentaires, non merci. J'ai expliqué pourquoi dans la description de la vidéo.

great post - thanks! i was trying to upload this myself but struggled to split it into youtube length videos

[GangstaFlame]

I struggled too. Nothing I had under Windows wanted to work on it, so I eventually split and re-encoded the video with Kdenlive under Ubuntu 9.04.

[111256able]

In body languange reading ,when a liar is questioned to something serious,he tends to scratch himself on the nose or face while talking, at least once.Observe him from the beginning and bear witness whether he did just that!

[111256able]

Same old stun done by agent provocateur in Vanuzuela election so as to put the blame on the authority.Theres no indication that he saw the shooter and from another witness there were no basij near by.

[SpeedOverStrength]

*sighs* another hitler.

very mature language by the way.

[glassbotomboat]

@SpeedOverStrength Your worthless brain is conviluted by PROPAGANDA from MUSLIMS! You dont like the WESTERN WORLD, go back to your Kitty liter of a country and live with the other TIRDS!

[SpeedOverStrength]

poor guy. blinded by western media. YOU are enough proof for my 'elements'.

[GangstaFlame]

You say he's a liar, but how do I know that you're not a liar? If you have elements to support your opinion, tell them. If you don't, just shut up.
