Bearing Witness
ByOne of Nico's readers translates an open letter written the brave bystander who tried to save Neda:
After my interview on June 25th, 2009, regarding my personal account of the brutal killing of Neda Agha Soltan, I read the news of my arrest warrant by the government of Iran.
As I mentioned in the interview, I was expecting such as action from a government, which is founded on lies and deceit. I was expecting them to deny my statements. This government, instead of bringing justice to the murders of this innocent girl and others and accepting their responsibilities, tries to blame individuals and organizations, which have done nothing wrong.
They have put pressure on my friends and family who have done nothing. They have harassed my father who is 70 years and a university professor. I did what every human would have done in my situation. I tried to save a victim. When the government tried to cover up the details, I testified what I witnessed.
