The following is a statement from 91̽»¨ President Ana Mari Cauce on the killing of recent 91̽»¨graduate Aysenur Eygi in the West Bank:
“This morning brought the awful news that recent 91̽»¨graduate Aysenur Eygi was reportedly killed by Israeli troops in the West Bank. My heart goes out to Aysenur’s family, friends and loved ones. Aysenur was a peer mentor in psychology who helped welcome new students to the department and provided a positive influence in their lives. This is the second time over the past year that violence in the region has taken the life of a member of our 91̽»¨community and I again join with our government and so many who are working and calling for a ceasefire and resolution to the crisis.”
