Remembered
Mehdi Karroubi, an opposition candidate in the election, called Neda a martyr on his website: "A young girl, who did not have a weapon in her soft hands, or a grenade in her pocket, became a victim of thugs who are supported by a horrifying intelligence apparatus." In this photo, Iranian women in Dubai light candles in front of a memorial for Neda. The identity of the woman in the memorial's photo (which has been used by media around the world) is disputed; many say it is not the woman who was killed.
