Funeral of activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi takes place in Turkey
The American-Turkish activist Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, who was killed by Israeli gunfire in the West Bank last week, has been buried in her family’s hometown in southwestern Turkey.
The activist’s body arrived in Turkey on Friday in a flat top coffin, wrapped in the Turkish flag and carried by soldiers, in a ceremony that is usually reserved for fallen troops.
Her coffin was placed outside Didim Central Mosque on Saturday, where hundreds of people gathered to pay their respects to the 26-year-old. A smaller event later took place at a cemetery where an imam read verses from the Quran and mourners laid white flowers on her grave.

‘We will hold accountable those who killed Aysenur’
Turkey’s Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmus has promised to hold accountable those who killed Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi in the occupied West Bank as she attended a protest against illegal Israeli settlement expansion.
State officials are attending Eygi’s funeral in Didim, where she was born.
“Aysenur’s blood will not be in vain and we will hold accountable those who killed her in international courts,” Kurtulmus said.
He added that the responsibility for the killing “lies with Israel and its supporters”.
Israel ‘has impunity to kill Americans’
Israeli forces murdering American citizens and the US doing nothing but express sadness shows how “ridiculous” the US-Israel relationship has become, says Muslim scholar and human rights activist Omar Suleiman.
