Neda Soltan's death was faked, says documentary on Iran state TV

THE young woman killed during the June election protests in Tehran was an agent for the United States and Britain who faked her own death, says a documentary made by Iran state television.

Neda Agha Soltan, 27, became a symbol of Iranian democratic resistance when her death was filmed on a mobile phone and then posted on YouTube, where it was watched by millions of people.

It was then broadcast around the world by news organisations.

Yet a documentary shown on Iranian state TV claims she wasn’t dying, but had simply poured blood on her face from a hidden bottle, reports Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, a group of journalists who cover 20 countries where a free press is banned or not established.

The documentary later claims the “deceived and deceitful” Neda was shot dead on the way to hospital and that she was the victim of a plot by foreigners and Opposition supporters, including the doctor, Arash Hejazi, who treated her in the street.

They say the same thing about Jesus Christ; so Neda is in some pretty good company, and receiving His comfort even now.

Produce a live Nada and you might gain a sliver of credibility.

Meanwhile, please excuse me while I don’t hold my breath.

Absolutely DISGUSTING!

Neda’s death was one of the hardest things to watch that I have ever seen.

I really feel for the good people of Iran. They deserve better.

When ANY one spews garbage or resorts to incredulous statements such as the above, it often means that they are "losing the plot" & are desperate. Question is: how many people will buy it..

let me see if I got this right...

She faked her death...

then foreigners (The Press no less) shot her dead on the way to the hospital....

and then the Iranian government buried her in secret so that she would not become a martyr.

You forgot the part where the Israeli spy agents parachute in from an invisible, black helicopter, shoot her dead, then get whisked away by a combination of Airwolf, Knight Rider, and Mr. T's van.

These guys are pathetic.....

This claim is so idiotic it doesn’t even merit a serious response.

Hard to believe some at the source actually believe this tripe.

Then I stop and think, how long until the Ron Paulies latch on to it?

It looks like an article Old Ron Paul himself would love to explain on Rachel Maddow’s show.

Or, is Keith Olbermann his next admirer?

You mean here: http://www.news.com.au/world/nedas-death-was-faked-says-iran-state-tv/comments-e6frfkyi-1225817268398 ?

I just read several of more recent comments there, doesn't seem so.

Anyway, those who buy IRI's blatant propaganda War, IMO, show how naive they are. Other than that, there is no shortage of people, on the net, who actively propagate IRI's garbage, as well as some who like to use dissatisfied with X,Y, Z issues, among Iranians and non-Iranians, as leverage & in IRI's favor.
