Liberty leading the people

It's amazing to see the courage of the Iranian women during the recent protests in Tehran. One girl called Neda even paid with her life for taking a stand against the regime. We can only hope that her death was not in vain and that the people in Iran, especially the women, can finally overcome the oppression.















Edit: I added some more pictures and exchanged the others for higher resolution versions, taken from The Big Picture where a lot of other pictures from the Iran election can be found. Additionaly, I chose to exchange the photoshopped middle finger picture for the unaltered original and decided to also include a picture of Neda - as gruesome as it is, it just wasn't right to exclude it.
