You might have heard that there are still protesters on the streets of Iran. They have gathered today at the cemetery where Neda, the young woman killed during a protest, is buried. Today is the 40th day after her death, an important day to mark in Islamic tradition. While it is great to see that people still remember Neda, it is great that we finally got to hear from her family and how they are living this tragedy.

Neda's mother said in an Interview with BBC "I don't want people to forget her. People - Iranians - have all been very supportive. They come to me and congratulate me for having had such a brave daughter.

And now I want you to do something for me. I want you, on my behalf, to thank everyone around the world, Iranians and non Iranians, people from every country and culture, people who in their own way, their own tradition, have mourned my child… everyone who lit a candle for her - every musician, who wrote songs for her, who wrote poems about her… you know, Neda loved the arts and music. I want to thank all of them.

I want to thank politicians and leaders, from every country, at all levels, who remembered my child.

Her death has been so painful - words can never describe my true feelings. But knowing that the world cried for her… that has comforted me.

I am proud of her. The world sees her as a symbol, and that makes me happy."
