neda

i got all choked up while running (practicing for your run hehe) when i saw this news clip.

i'm not embedding it here because it's pretty graphic. here's the link if you want to see it. but you'll probably see it on cnn.

i'm so moved......

maybe because it's the first time i see someone actually die a brutal death.

also there's something about a woman standing up for these things, and in a male-dominated society. apparently iranian women are known to be fighters for justice. just like benazir.

locally, they are called 'lionesses'.

the girl's name in the clip was neda. and neda means "divine calling".
