Aysenur Ezgi Eygi's partner says her killing was 'no accident'

Following US President Joe Biden's statement saying Israel's killing of US-Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was "apparently" an accident, Eygi's partner Hamid Ali said Biden never reached out to the family.

"For four days, we have waited for President Biden to pick up the phone and do the right thing: To call us, offer his condolences, and let us know that he is ordering an independent investigation of the killing of Aysenur," he said.

"She was fatally shot in the head by a bullet that came from an Israeli sniper positioned 200 meters away. This was no accident, and her killer must be held accountable."
