Who Was Neda Agha-Soltan?

Student
Neda, whose name means "the voice" or "the call" in Farsi, studied philosophy and took "underground" singing lessons. (In Iran, women are not permitted to sing in public.) She was engaged to be married. Several photographs that supposedly show her have circulated on the Internet, but not all of them have been correct. This photo was published by the Los Angeles Times with a notation that it was provided by a family friend.
