Arash Hejazi is an Iranian author and publisher, now living in the UK.
He was standing next to Neda Agha Soltan on the day she was shot during the Iranian protests in June 2009.
He tried to save her, and the video of that moment and Neda’s last minute of life flashed across the internet worldwide.
It made Neda the poster child for the opposition Green Movement. And it made Arash Hejazi a target for the Iranian regime.
Since then there have been demonstrations in Tehran calling for his extradition from the UK, and he says, his Tehran publishing house is in the process of being shut down.
He talks to Sarah Montague about what happened that day and how it has changed his life.
