Questions arise why was Neda singled out? Was it for her modern outfit or that a young woman boldly coming out and expressing her feelings did not go down well with the religious Basij gunman who shot her?

On the new Facebook page dedicated to her memory, Nada is referred to as the "Angel of Iran", whilst her Wikipedia page refers to her also as the "voice of Iran". The Facebook page already has over 2,100 members.
