Iran by Neda

My best friend in Iran, a doctor who showed me its beautiful culture when I visited Teheran in 2000, who fought a war in the name of the Islamic Republic (against Iraq), who took care of wounded soldiers in the frontline, who always stood by real human values, is seen here trying to resuscitate Neda – hit in her heart.

You can follow Iran in crisis : live here

FROM THEN ON, THIS BLOG WILL RETURN TO ITS ORIGINAL FORMAT, EXCEPT BY RUMI’S VERSES, THAT I WILL UPDATE DAILY, TILL THE END OF THIS WEEK.

    Cool story!

  3. I do enjoy the manner in which you have presented this specific challenge plus it does supply us some fodder for thought. Nevertheless, coming from what precisely I have observed, I just wish when other responses pack on that individuals stay on issue and in no way embark upon a soap box associated with some other news of the day. Still, thank you for this superb piece and whilst I can not go along with the idea in totality, I respect your point of view.

    Should twitter receive the Nobel Peace Prize?

    Twitter, Paulo Coelho, Facebook, were instrumental in getting information out of Iran over these last few weeks that the evil Supreme Being has ordered a clampdown on what little democracy exists in Iran. Should they not be joint recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize?

  28. Stefan from Germany says:

    Thank you Paulo for doing this political work. For me it was shocking and at the same time like a wonder, that you could help the truth on it´s way to the world.

    Now everybody can see what had happened in IRAN.
    We don´t have to have doubts what is the truth!
    The regime of Ahmadinedjad is against humanity.
    Power to the people of IRAN!
    Yes, God is great. Allah illah! We should organize demonstration in Germany too.
    Solidarity and worm feelings to the people of IRAN!!
    Stefan from Germany

  29. Neda says:

    I’m another Neda from Iran and interestingly I’m 26 too! They killed Neda Aghasoltan but as others have said she is alive more than ever, she breathes and lives in our soul and she calls for Iran’s freedon through our throats.
    Thanks for your kind attention Paulo.
