They aren't just protesting in Iran. Here's a video of a protest in front of the Iranian consulate in Washington DC

Iran's "Angel of Freedom"

We'll end by quoting a piece in the New York Post about Neda Agha-Soltan (or Sultan), who has become a symbol of resistance to the Iranian regime. Some of the protesters in Tehran are carrying signs with her picture on it.

The young Iranian woman whose gruesome killing has become a rallying cry for the nation's opposition movement eerily predicted her violent death by gunfire -- but was determined to protest against "the injustice of it all," a friend said yesterday.

As the violence continues to escalate on the streets of the embattled Middle Eastern nation, the beautiful philosophy student, Neda Agha-Soltan, 26, who had been engaged to be married, is being hailed as Iran's Joan of Arc.

The government yesterday blocked a wake for her in a central Tehran mosque for fear that the outpouring of grief would lead to more anti-regime protests, her fiancé, Caspian Makan, told the BBC.

"The authorities are aware that everybody in Iran and throughout the whole world knows about her story," Makan said.

"They were afraid that lots of people could turn up."

The 40-second video of Neda's death has not been aired on Iranian state-sponsored TV, but many in the country -- and worldwide -- have seen it on the Internet.

Since the video made shock waves across the Web, her photo has been held aloft at demonstrations all over the globe.
