VERY DISTURBING VIDEO! A YOUNG WOMAN IS SHOT TO DEATH ON THE STREETS OF TEHRAN!

A disturbing video of a young woman purportedly shot to death on the streets of Tehran during post-election protests is becoming a touchstone for the opposition.

The horrific footage, posted on YouTube, shows the victim who was watching the protests with her father, collapsing after what sounds like a spray of gunfire is heard in the background.

The gunman, who was "hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house, aimed straight [at] her heart," said the video's poster, a doctor who made a desperate bid to help.

"I am a doctor, so I rushed to try to save her," he said of the victim, known on the internet as "Neda," which means "voice" in Farsi.
A pair of onlookers scramble to help her in the video, grimly entitled "Basij shots to death a young woman," as she falls to the pavement.

Her eyes roll back in her head and blood starts to pour from her mouth and nose as shrieks rise from the crowd.

Onlookers try desperately to put pressure on her neck, but it was too late as the woman succumbed.
