Aishi Nor Isgi Aigi, a 26 year old American Turkish
citizen, grew up in the US, but her funeral will
be held in Didim in western Turkey, where her family
came from.
Her father says she travelled to the Middle East to
follow her principles but was shot in the head and
killed by the Israeli army while demonstrating against illegal Israeli
settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Turkey is investigating her death, but the US says it
is not looking into her killing, even though the President
of the United States said her death was unacceptable.
I am outraged and deeply saddened by the death of
Aishinua Aegie.
The shooting that led to her death is totally unacceptable.
A preliminary investigation has indicated that it was the result
of a tragic error resulting from an unnecessary escalation.
The US government has had full access to Israel's preliminary
investigation and expects continued access as the investigation continues so
that we can have confidence in the result.
Some see the apparent USS acceptance of the Israeli army's
conclusion argue was hit indirectly and unintentionally as hypocritical.
Others say the US has double standards and there are
first and second class citizens when it comes to investigations
into deaths that take place abroad, including that of Al
Jazeera journalist and American citizen Shireen Abu Attli, shot dead
by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank in May
2 years ago.
There is already a wide perception across the region and
I would say across the world that there is a
different standards applied by the US when it comes to
investigation or taking a stance of the killing of its
citizens.
We also see with your colleagues, the Al Jazeera journalist
who was Shirin, who was also U.S.
citizens.
Dalai says the US is reaction to Shirin's killing did
not meet international expectations.
Aishi Noor's family and the Turkish state are looking for
accountability in her killing, but critics say the precedent so
far has been that Israel can act with impunity.
Imaging Kimber.
