“Only scraps of information are known about Ms. Agha-Soltan. Her friends and relatives were mostly afraid to speak, and the government broke up public attempts to mourn her. She studied philosophy and took underground singing lessons — women are barred from singing publicly in Iran. Her name means voice in Persian, and many are now calling her the voice of Iran.”

The language is called Farsi, not Persian. A dash of cultural knowledge when penning a story as socially significant as this, would be a nice touch.

Hey El Chivo... Relax. Persian is a fairly common term not (necessarily) degoratory as you suggest, tho Farsi is the term more commonly used by Iranians.

The world watched the brutality of Iran government against his people so we Iranian society who live in Iran would like to express our gratefulness for performing songs for her and other killed women and men who are unknown and thank you whole heartedly for your kind support.
