JP, I understand what you are saying. I was just as shocked as you are when I first saw the clips of the final moments of this poor girl (there are two of them and this was the first one I saw ), but I felt at that time that the truth of what's happening in Iran should be known by the entire world, and the people of Iran want the world to know. Right now, they are risking their lives uploading and e-mailing videos and photos like this so that the world may know -- the Iranian government is doing its best to cut off the lines of communication including the Internet and mobile phones and hunting down "online destabilizers." The Iranian people want the world to know and I think and feel that it is our responsibility to not only spread the word, but also images like this.
And my hunch was right, the day of protest hadn't ended yet when her name, NEDA, quickly became a popular hashtag in Twitter (label or tag to group tweets). There are now online groups, dedicated to her memory like this Facebook page, In Memory of Neda --
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=109904078625&ref=mf. People are paying tribute to her online, like this page -- "Her Name was 'Neda,' "
http://open.salon.com/blog/kathy_riordan/2009/06/20/her_name_was_neda, and this page, "IRAN: Footage of woman apparently shot in Tehran galvanizes opposition,"
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/babylonbeyond/2009/06/iran--2.html. There are a lot of these kinds of tributes being posted online every minute -- you may also check out my post
http://www.filipinowriter.com/the-tragic-face-of-todays-iranian-revolution-warning-very-graphic for more links if you haven't done so. In the mainstream media, meanwhile, I just saw CNN banner their show with this footage (albeit with her face blurred). The still image of her dying face is also now being used as online avatars and as placards in rallies all over the world (in particular, try to catch the Los Angeles rally on CNN).
In other words, Neda has become a symbol of the Iranians' fight for freedom. (Most are of the opinion that Mousavi, Iran's opposition leader is an accidental leader, and that it is actually the people leading the cause right now.) What's happening in Iran right now is their EDSA, and Neda has become their Ninoy. And if you remember, when Ninoy died, Cory and her family opted for an open casket with Ninoy's body lying unwashed and bloody, because they wanted the Filipino people and the world to know how the dictatorship brutally murdered Ninoy. Same with the Iranian people. Neda is just one of the many martyrs who died yesterday, and the Iranians want the world to know how the present Iranian regime is killing them and their fight for freedom.
Dins, that was just ... wala ... no words ... what can we do ... not to start a debate, but maybe I am, but do you think it's right for us to spread these images? A private moment of death?
