This bill is a memorial from the Washington State Legislature calling for an independent investigation by the United States Department of State into the killing of Ayenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old human rights activist who was fatally shot by an Israeli military sniper while observing the displacement of Indigenous Palestinians in the West Bank. The memorial highlights Eygi's commitment to social justice, environmental activism, and her advocacy for immigrant and refugee rights, as well as her tragic death on September 6, 2024. It draws parallels to the case of Rachel Corrie, another Washingtonian activist who was killed in 2003 while advocating for Palestinian rights, emphasizing the need for accountability for both Eygi and Corrie.

The memorial asserts that justice and accountability for Eygi's death, as well as for all U.S. citizens unjustly killed abroad, are essential and calls for a transparent investigation into her killing. It underscores the ideals of courage and compassion embodied by Eygi and Corrie, positioning them as symbols of solidarity and human rights. The bill concludes with a request for copies of the memorial to be sent to key government officials, including the President and members of Congress.
