Supporters of Iran’s regime have desecrated the grave of Neda Soltan, the student who became a symbol of the opposition after she was shot dead during an anti-goverment demonstration on June 20.

The incident was confirmed by Ms Soltan’s fiancé, Caspian Makan, who fled from Iran after being released on bail following 65 days in prison. A recording of Ms Soltan’s mother weeping and cursing those responsible has been posted on the internet.

Mr Makan, 38, also disclosed that the regime tried to force him and Ms Soltan’s parents to say that she was killed by the opposition, not by a government militiaman on a motorbike as eyewitnesses have claimed. A documentary to be shown on BBC Two next week contains an unseen clip of demonstrators catching the militiaman seconds after the shooting.

"unseen clip of demonstrators catching the militiaman seconds after the shooting". WOW, this should be really interesting.

I am not surprised by what the IRI is putting Neda's family through, I wouldn't put anything passed this terrorist regime.

 The IRI regime is absolutely despicable to insult an innocent dead person by desicrating Neda's grave. They don't let a dead person rest in peace! It is just disgusting!!! I could not believe that IRI force people to say that opposition killed Neda......IRI wanted to re-write history!!!!!

Thank you for posting this article!!!
