Warning- contains graphic violence

In the early evening of June 20, 2009, Neda Agha-Soltan was in her car stuck in the traffic on Kargar Avenue in Tehran. She was with Hamid Panahi, her music teacher, and two others people who have not been identified.

They may have been going to the election protest to participate or just to watch. No one can say for sure. The protests or demonstrations had a social aspect that drew people.

The air conditioner broke down so they stopped and got out to walk, about 1 kilometer from the main protest.

Neda was standing on the sidewalk watching and you can see her fall from the gunshot in the video. She was shot in the chest and the bullet entered her heart.
