Footage of the death of Nedā Āghā-Soltān ((ペルシア語:نِدا آقا سُلطان) – ''Nedā Āġā Soltān''; 23 January 1983 – 20 June 2009) drew international attention after she was shot dead during the 2009 Iranian election protests. According to Human Rights Watch, "She was a philosophy student who was a bystander to the protests when she was shot in the chest on Kargar Street. At the time of the shooting, Agha-Soltan was not actively protesting, according to her relatives and eyewitnesses. She had been traveling in a private car stuck in traffic several kilometers from the main protests at Azadi Square, and had just stepped out of the car. Numerous witnesses have stated that there were no active clashes between protesters and security forces in the area where she was shot". The murderer of Neda is disputed. According to CNN, BBC, and Fox News she was shot by Basij.〔()〕 〔()〕 According to Iranian media, she was shot by Ārash Hejāzi.〔〔 Her death was captured on video by bystanders and broadcast over the Internet and the video became a rallying point for the opposition.〔 It was described as "probably the most widely witnessed death in human history". ''Nedā'' (ندا) is a word used in Classic Persian and modern Persian〔ندا has been borrowed from the same Classical Arabic word (a verb in Arabic) meaning "get together", "meet with", then "gather", "come together", "call together", "rally". It is a synonym of ''اجتمع''. A lot more meanings are given in dictionaries like ''Wörterbuch der Klassischen Arabischen Sprache (Dictionary of Classical Arabic)'', by Manfred Ullmann, Edward William Lane, the Arabic and Persian ''Moungued dictionaries -قواميس المنجد'' and many more.〕 to mean "voice", "calling" (sometimes understood as a "divine message", but this is not the etymological sense of ''ندا''), and she has been referred to as the "voice of Iran". Her death became iconic in the struggle of Iranian protesters against the disputed election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. == Biography == Āghā-Soltān was the middle child of a middle-class family of three children,〔 whose family resided in a fourth floor flat on Meshkini Street in the Tehrānpars district of Tehran.〔Correspondent in Tehran (24 June 2009). (Neda Soltan's family 'forced out of home' by Iranian authorities ). ''The Guardian''.〕 Her father is a civil servant and her mother is a homemaker.〔 She was graduating from Islamic Āzād University, where she had studied Islamic theology as well as secular philosophies, but she withdrew after two semesters of study for two reasons, one being a disagreement with her husband Amir and his family, and the other being the atmosphere and the pressure of the authorities towards her appearance and dress in the university.〔Connett, David (28 June 2009).(Iran online: Around the world in 60 minutes ). ''The Independent''.〕 She was divorced, and according to her mother, had difficulty in finding work because of how employers perceived her.〔Wayne Drash and Octavia Nasr (5 November 2009). (Neda's mother: She was 'like an angel' ). ''CNN''.〕 Āghā-Soltān was an aspiring, underground musician, who was studying her craft through private voice and music lessons.〔May, Rachel (22 August 2003).(In Iran, no men allowed at women's music fest ). ''The Christian Science Monitor''.〕 She had studied the violin and had an as-yet-undelivered piano on order at the time of her death. She worked for her family's travel agency.〔Farber, Daniel (23 June 2009)〕 It was in Turkey, more than two months prior to her death, that she met her fiancé, 37-year-old Caspian Makan, who worked as a photojournalist, and filmmaker in Tehran and after that she changed her mind about becoming a tour guide and decided to start photography with him.〔 Āghā-Soltān enjoyed travelling. She had studied Turkish, hoping it would aid her as a guide for Iranians on foreign tours in Turkey. Those who knew her maintain that Āghā-Soltān had not previously been very political – she had not supported any particular candidate in the 2009 Iran elections〔 – but that anger over the election results prompted her to join the protest.〔 Her voice and music teacher, Hamid Panahi, who was accompanying Āghā-Soltān during the protest and can be seen on the video trying to comfort the dying woman, told the media: "She couldn't stand the injustice of it." Panahi went on to state: "All she wanted was the proper vote of the people to be counted." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Death of Neda Agha-Soltan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
