Yemen has renamed Iran Boulevard, a street in its country, to Neda Soltan Street, named after the young female protestor who was shot and killed in June on videotape that quickly spread around the world.Her name has since become a rallying cry for Iranian opposition activists of all kinds and human rights advocates around the world.
Yemen isn’t exactly a model for human rights, but they deserve applause for giving recognition to Neda and in so doing, giving the Iranian regime a much-needed slap.
This move by Yemen came after Iran named a street in Tehran after the founder of the extremist Houthi rebels currently fighting the Yemeni and Saudi governments.
