Statement from Ayșenur’s partner, Hamid Ali, in response to President Biden’s Comment on the Killing of Ayșenur

The White House has not spoken with us. For four days, we have waited for President Biden to pick up the phone and do the right thing: to call us, offer his condolences, and let us know that he is ordering an independent investigation of the killing of Ayșenur. An activist and volunteer, Ayșenur was peacefully standing for justice as an international observer and witness to Palestinian suffering. She was fatally shot in the head by a bullet that came from an Israeli sniper positioned 200 meters away. This was no accident and her killers must be held accountable.
