To avoid deletion attempts[edit]

To avoid deletion attempts here is some info: See Death of Neda Agha-Soltan. And: File:Neda non graphic.jpg. That non-free frame from a famous Youtube video of her death was placed in the article one day after the article was created. See this version of the article from June 22, 2009. Scroll down to see the image.

See also Emmett Till (scroll down) and this famous non-free image of him dead: File:Emmit Till body.jpg. --Timeshifter (talk) 08:48, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

could we contact this person so that she gives away her rights? This photo is needed in other language versions....Nattes à chat (talk) 15:56, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to do so. However, getting permission may be difficult as the author does not seem to have a publicly known email address (which VRT requires) and has not been responding to Facebook comments. Ixfd64 (talk) 20:41, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
