Family of Turkish-American Activist Killed by IDF Says U.S. Is ‘Unwilling’ to Provide the Bare Minimum Information on Her Death – Haaretz

 Family of Turkish-American Activist Killed by IDF Says U.S. Is ‘Unwilling’ to Provide the Bare Minimum Information on Her Death

‘We’re just asking for step one,’ Aysenur Eygi’s widower, Hamid Ali, says, as the family met with U.S. lawmakers in a bid to find out more about the the investigation into her killing. Answers from Secretary of State Blinken proved ‘extremely disappointing,‘ he added

More than three months after learning of their loved one’s killing, the family of Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi – fatally shot by Israeli troops at a West Bank protest – still has limited information on the circumstances of her death. And they say they’re receiving very little assistance from the U.S. government on the matter.

Eygi, 26, was shot in the head following the weekly protest at the West Bank Palestinian village of Beita near the Israeli settlement of Evyatar. According to the Israeli military’s initial findings, the soldiers probably did not mean to shoot Eygi, but activists present at the incident say she was shot nearly half an hour after clashes between soldiers and protesters dissipated.

In a packed week of meetings last week, the Eygi family finally got face time with outgoing U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and met with 15 U.S. lawmakers and their staff on Capitol Hill in their bid to secure justice for their slain loved one.

“All this effort we’re doing is to obtain something, or to even begin something, that is very basic – really the bare minimum. It shouldn’t really take this much effort,” says Hamid Ali, Eygi’s husband.

“There’s a precedent for it. Merrick Garland himself – the attorney general of the United States – has said ‘we investigate every American death.’ It is not something exceptional that we’re asking for. This is very minimal.”
