This bill is a memorial from the Washington State Legislature, honoring Ayenur Ezgi Eygi, a dedicated human rights advocate and community organizer who was tragically killed in the West Bank, Palestine, by an Israeli military sniper while observing the displacement of Indigenous Palestinians. The memorial highlights Eygi's extensive activism, including her efforts in social and environmental justice, support for immigrant and refugee rights, and her commitment to peace and sustainability. It also draws parallels to Rachel Corrie, another Washingtonian human rights activist who was killed in 2003 while advocating for Palestinian rights, emphasizing the ongoing fight for justice and accountability for both women.

The memorial calls for the United States government to conduct a transparent, thorough, and independent investigation into Eygi's death, asserting that justice and accountability are essential not only for Eygi and Corrie but for all U.S. citizens unjustly killed abroad. The resolution seeks to ensure that the sacrifices made by Eygi and Corrie in their pursuit of justice and human rights are recognized and that their legacies continue to inspire action towards a more just and peaceful world.
