CNN: Italy's capital to get a 'Neda Street'
Thursday, July 30, 2009
The city's council voted earlier this month to dub a thoroughfare "Neda Street" on a motion from council member Alessandro Onorato.
The gesture reflects the worldwide sympathy for Iranians who have been jailed, killed or injured protesting last month's controversial presidential election results. Rome's online news outlet has received many messages of support for the move from Italians and others outside the country.
"The street where Neda was killed is already known internationally as 'Neda Street.' I am proud that Rome — capital of peace, tolerance and freedom — will also have its 'Neda Street,'" Onorato said in a news release after the vote was made.
Agha-Soltan, 26, was shot in street protests on June 20. Her last moments were captured on a shaky video, probably shot with a cell phone, and sent out for the world to see. Iranians on Thursday converged on her gravesite in Tehran, Iran, to mourn her death.
