Neda's fiance speaks, and another live photo of Neda

[Duer 157099]

Apparently her fiance did an interview, and this photo was posted with the interview on the bbc site



I used Google translate to translate the Farsi, but it's such a poor translation, I'll wait to find a more accurate one somewhere. Or, if someone here can read Farsi, please translate for us.

4. Interesting, thanks

That's pretty much the essence of what I gathered from the Google translation, with one significant difference having to do with the fiance's identity. I won't post it because it could put him in jeopardy, although if he's giving interviews to bbc... I don't know

5. I'm surprised they let him talk to BBC in the first place.

10. We're all part of this.

Even you. Your denial is proof of the part you play, see?

12. Why even bother posting something like that?

I really don't see the point.

13. Some people see a punchbowl and can only think about taking a dump in it.

Some of the comments on DU make me think that, if this is the progressive site, then humanity has no hope. lol
