Not far from me in Frankfurt lives a newly exiled Irani women in her 30s named Neda Soltani. Soltani was mistaken (or found her likeness intentionally manipulated) as Neda Agha-Soltan, whose death at the hands of thugs and government personnel in Iran last summer--led to her own name as being called out across her country as a martyr for the Persian peoples, i.e. and their rightful cause against the autocracy (theocracy) mis-running her country now for 3 decades.
