Neda Soltani (Persian: ندا سلطانی; born 1977, in Isfahan[1]) is an Iranian exile.
During the 2009 Iranian election protests, she was teaching English at Azad University[2] when her Facebook profile photo was mistakenly published in many articles about the death of the similarly named Neda Agha-Soltan, who was shot and killed during the protests.
As a result, her identity was confused with that of Agha-Soltan, to whom she bore a superficial facial resemblance.
[5][6][7] As of 2012[update], Soltani remains exiled from Iran and is under Germany's asylum.
[3] She has authored a book, My Stolen Face, narrating her story of the incident.
