On July 29th, 2009, Rome’s mayor Giovanni “Gianni” Alemanno named a street after Neda Agha Soltan, a prominent symbol of the Iranians who lost their lives during the massive protests (some claim 3 million protesters were out on the streets in Tehran on one particular day) against the Iranian election results.

One of the first chants heard in the video above is: “Iraani mimirad, mellat nemipazirad!” (An Iranian dies, the public does not accept!)

As international support for the people of Iran continues to increase every minute on an array of platforms – online, fashion runways, music concerts, and world rallies – one of the world’s biggest soccer stars Francesco Totti joins the pack.
