The American Turkish activist, fatally shot by Israeli forces in the West Bank, is remembered as joyous, passionate and warm.
Aysenur Ezgi Eygi never saw an injustice that did not move her personally.
That’s how friends remember the American Turkish activist, who was fatally shot by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank last week. They say she was known for her empathy, joyous presence and drive to support oppressed people, no matter who or where they are.
For many in Eygi’s community in Seattle, Washington, Aysenur — pronounced Aysha-Nour — was a name synonymous with laughter and compassion.
“She was a light in any room,” Kelsie Nabass, a friend of Eygi, said.
