Nablus Mourns Slain US-Turkish Activist

 Residents of Nablus in the occupied West Bank held a solemn funeral, Monday, for American-Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Egi, who was fatally sniped by Israeli forces during a peaceful protest last Friday.

Egi’s death has triggered widespread condemnation, as she was participating in a nonviolent demonstration opposing Israeli settlement expansion in the town of Beita, south of Nablus according to the Quds News Network.

The funeral prayer took place after her body was released from Rafidia Governmental Hospital in the afternoon.

Local authorities, led by Nablus Governor Ghassan Daghlas, along with representatives from civil society, gathered to honor her memory. The Palestinian security forces organized an official convoy, underscoring the significant impact of her death on the community.
