Today. I want to dedicate this column to a topic unrelated
to the Latin world, the current situation in Iran andits|people.
On the 20th day of June 2009, at or
around 6:30 p.m., Neda Agha Soltan
(pictured right) was shot in the heart
The impact of the gunshot exploded
inside Neda's heart causing her death
in less than 2 minutes.
On June 12, 2009. Iran went to the
polls to elect a President. Much like
the American people in November
2008, thev were also voting for change.
The Iranian people were voting for
democracy, for freedom, for the liberty
we enjoy and many times take for granted. The top con-
tenders were President Ahmadinejad and Mir Hossein
Mousavi. On election day people were filled with energy an 1
hope with the dream of starting a new Iran under a different
leader; and so, it was no surprise to find there was a huge
turnout. Many expected Mousavi to be sworn in late this sum-
mer, but to the surprise of many President Ahmadinejad won
I by a landslide, making it clear change would have to wait
This in turn has sparked some of the bloodies riots ever 1
seen in Iran and can only be compared to its 1979 revolution
riots. After President Ahmadinejad was declared the winner
people took to the streets to express their disappointment,
their disapproval and most importantly to demand an annul-
ment of the results claiming President Mahmoud Ahmadine-
jad rigged the election.
The intensity of the mass has become so strong it has now
been called the green wave' protests, where green stands for
freedom. People all over the world are vigilant taking note ot
I every step, every event that happens in Iran. The twitter an
facebook pages are overflowing with discussion on Iran an
its people. Although, it is impossible to speak of eachJIranian

protests when a basij member hiding on the rooftop of a civil-

According to a friend, Neda, Panahi and two others were

Square around 6:30 p.m. Saturday. When they got out of their

are not going to accept the unacceptable simply because his-

is in the planning and it is expected to occur this coming
Thursday. They are ready for change and together they have
I only one goal: to prevail regardless of the tactics used by the
government. They will not be frightened; they will not be si-
I lenced, for they understand the glory of freedom and democ-
racy? Most importantly, having overcome the barrier of fear,
I they now stand tall with the knowledge and certainty that
they too are entitled to be free!
