Iran woman killed in protests (Very Graphic)

Sometimes you need to look at the evil done in the world, so you are more empowered to counter / fight against it. This is VERY GRAPHIC, but also very real. It should be watched by all adults who care about this world and it's people.

Here is the statement posted along with the original video:

Basij shots to death a young woman in Tehran's Saturday June 20th protests At 19:05 June 20th Place: Karekar Ave., at the corner crossing Khosravi St. and Salehi st. A young woman who was standing aside with her father watching the protests was shot by a basij member hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house. He had clear shot at the girl and could not miss her. However, he aimed straight her heart. I am a doctor, so I rushed to try to save her. But the impact of the gunshot was so fierce that the bullet had blasted inside the victim's chest, and she died in less than 2 minutes. The protests were going on about 1 kilometers away in the main street and some of the protesting crowd were running from tear gass used among them, towards Salehi St. The film is shot by my friend who was standing beside me. Please let the world know.

This video may end up being pulled off YouTube, but then again, they may be mature enough to keep it. You'll need a YouTube account (free) to see it because they must verify you are over 18, which is appropriate.
