‘I posted this video yesterday and someone here said it was a fake. There is something in the man’s hand that could have been a vial of red stuff.’
A few posters on Twitter have been posting this rumor over and over again. They’ve been denounced by the masses as agents from the Iranian government who are twitting false rumors to demoralize the opposition. The news now is that mosques have been banned by the government from giving her memorial services. So, if the video is a fake, then the government has been duped as well. One comment on the article - Neda’s birth year is being published as 1982 or 1983, which would make her around 27 years of age. Originally, she was listed as 16, but that seems to have changed in the last 24 hours.
I am not a mass agent for the Iranian government and I don’t think that other poster that said it was fake is an agent either.
I didn’t read about the vial on Twitter. I observed it with my own eyes.
I originally thought the video was real. It was quite shocking. I don’t know what that man has in his hands. It is odd.
But as I pointed out yesterday, fake or real, she is a symbol for those that are getting killed.
