Interestingly, recent video has popped up about possibly finding Neda's killer. According to one blog, the man has been identified as a Basiji. Now, I really want to be glad there's a chance they've found the killer, but I think we oughtta be a little more cautious. I learned that from the video of the man being slapped for protesting about his dead son's funeral (even if the man's son was a Basiji, I still feel sorry for him and that didn't deserve to be physically assaulted in his moments of grief). The man walking away may have been a Basiji, but is he the one that actually pulled the trigger? We have to becareful over who we end up prosecuting and accusing. We are all hungry for justice, but we will be very unjust ourselves if we accuse the wrong man of murder, even if he is a Basiji. Until there is undeniable evidence that this man is Neda's killer we shouldn't get too excited just yet. Let's wait and see if any further evidence comes up.
