The Secretary 'repeated a lot of the same things that we've been hearing for the past 20 years, particularly since Rachel Corrie’s killing,' says Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi's husband.

"Secretary was attentive in listening to us, but unfortunately repeated a lot of the same things that we've been hearing for the past 20 years, particularly since Rachel Corrie’s killing," Eygi's husband, Hamid Ali, said following the meeting at the State Department. "We hope that things will be different this time around," Ali said, proceeding to express that the family doesn't have high expectations.
She noted that before Monday's meeting at the State Department, no one from the White House or the Biden administration had contacted the family to offer condolences, despite news reports that suggested they had been in contact.
