Chronology 2

June 18

At the Friday prayers, Khamenei reaffirmed his support for his monkey, and threatened protesters with violence. This made major news all over the world. Moussavi and karroubi who had called for protests on Saturday did not attend the prayers.

People braced themselves for major violence, but their resolve showed no sign of waning. On the same day of Khamenei's speech, people went onto the rooftops, and shouted "Alloh-Akbar" or God is Great, in a flashback to the days of the revolution 30 years before, and in a sign of defiance to the repression.

June 19

People turned out in thousands again, but met major crackdown by the security forces. Major clashes ensued, and the regime's killing machine was unleashed. More and more videos have come out since then, but the murder of Neda was the nail in the coffin of this despicable regime.

Neda is now a symbol of the Iranian nation's quest for freedom.
