NEDA as an acronym may stand for:
Footage of the death of Nedā Āghā-Soltān (Persian: نِدا آقا سُلطان – Nedā Āġā Soltān; 23 January 1983 – 20 June 2009) drew international attention after she was shot dead during the 2009 Iranian election protests. Āghā-Soltān, a student of philosophy, was watching the protests and had just gotten out of a passenger car when she was fatally shot in the chest. The murderer of Neda is disputed; according to CNN, BBC, and Fox News, she was shot by Basij. Her death was captured on video by bystanders and broadcast over the Internet, and the video became a rallying point for the opposition.
Agha-Soltan's death was described as "probably the most widely witnessed death in human history." Her death became iconic in the struggle of Iranian protesters against the disputed election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Nedā (ندا) is a word used in Classic Persian and modern Persian to mean "voice", "calling" (sometimes understood as a "divine message", but this is not the etymological sense of ندا), and she has been referred to as the "voice of Iran".

I held my head in my hands, and I trembled.
The cries from the crowd and the girl in the camera.
I said, in a prayer, a kind of surrender I wished her peace, wondered what she rendered.
Neda, you made a place for the innocents, a prayer for the dissidents.
Afraid I gave up; I never thought the world could be so small.
And the loss of your innocence wasn’t enough, I guess.
The cost of what you’re holding in wasn’t everything.
All the leaders say, "they’ll forget someday,"
but what you’d live to see would take their breath away.
These ragged smoldering lines and these embers,
the cries in the night to say they remember the face of a girl,
who faithful and tender, wanted only peace and not to surrender.
Neda, your mother can’t cry for your memory or mourn for the tragedy.
They tore your grave up.
I never thought the world could be so small.
And the loss of your innocence wasn’t enough, I guess.
The cost of what you’re holding in wasn’t everything.
All the leaders say, "they’ll forget someday,"
but what you’d live to see would take their breath away.
And the flowers on your grave. ??
And the things you gave away were another kind that day.
And the flowers on your grave.
And the loss of your innocence wasn’t enough, I guess.
The cost of what you’re holding in wasn’t everything.
But all the people say, "we won’t forget the day, and what you lived to see takes our breath away."
Neda, you made a place for the innocents, a place for the dissidents.
We nearly gave up.
