Neda Agha-Soltan Graduate Scholarship the country the status of "international basket case". While the problems of Iran were no longer front-page news, it said, they still existed. In the circumstances, the editorial concluded, "A scholarship at The Queen’s College in memory of Neda Soltan is, indeed, politically motivated, and admirably so". UK diplomatic sources, speaking anonymously to "The Times", said that if the government had been asked, it would have advised against the creation of the scholarship, because Iran would see it as an act of provocation, and because it would interfere with efforts to free Iranians working for the British Embassy in Tehran
Shahin Najafi accepted the apology. After the Iranian election protests, Najafi released a single named "Neda" in July 2009 dedicated to Neda Agha-Soltan, an activist killed during the protests. He released his second studio album titled "Tavahhom" (Illusion) on 19 September 2009 by the German-Iranian publishing house "Pamas-Verlag". In this album, several songs are about the intense protests against the Iranian government and the political oppression that occurred after the presidential election. Can be cited to "Vaghti khoda khabe (When God is sleeping)" through these songs. The song's lyrics protest the 2009 Iran poll protests trial, militia violence, the use of torture
