All mosques were given a direct order from the government barring them from holding any memorial services for Neda, and her family was threatened with grave consequences if anyone gathered to mourn her, said Samsami.
Soltan's loved ones were outraged by the authorities' order not to eulogize her.
"They were threatened that if people wanted to gather there the family would be charged and punished," Samsami told FOXnews.com.
