(CNN) — A year ago Sunday, Neda Agha-Soltan died of a single gunshot wound to the chest. Her last moments — captured on a cell phone camera and shown around the world– catapulted her into the symbol of the postelection reform movement in Iran.
Today, the Iranian regime’s crackdown seems to have driven protesters off the streets. But the movement is not weakening, some analysts say. Instead, it’s evolved into an online underground civil rights struggle, they say.
“I think they’re going to continue to move forward, whether in the form of a green movement or another type of movement,” said Karim Sadjadpour, a fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “It’s just, basically, this march of history.”
Agha-Soltan, 26, was at an anti-government demonstration in Tehran when she was felled by a single bullet to the chest.
“She has been shot! Someone, come and take her!” shouts one man in the shaky cell phone video that has since been seen around the world.
The video then shows blood streaming from her mouth, then from her nose. Her eyes roll to her right; her body is limp.
A man, who had accompanied her to the rally, is then heard pleading with her by name.
