Family of US Woman Killed by Israel in West Bank Demands Independent Probe
News - Middle East: The family of a US woman shot and killed by Israeli forces during a protest in the occupied West Bank demanded an independent investigation into her killing, saying that an Israel-led probe would be inadequate.
Aysenur Eygi, an American activist of Turkish origin, was "shot in the head" while participating in a weekly protest against Israel's illegal settlement in Beita, in the West Bank on Friday, according to the United Nations rights office.
Eyewitnesses told CNN that the 26-year-old had been shot in the head by Israeli forces cracking down on the protesters.
"Her presence in our lives was taken needlessly, unlawfully, and violently by the Israeli military," Eygi's family said in a statement on Saturday.
They said, "A US citizen, Aysenur was peacefully standing for justice when she was killed by a bullet that video shows came from an Israeli military shooter."
