Take Action: Remember Rachel Corrie,
Vigil for Tristan Anderson
On March 13, 2009, Tristan Anderson, a U.S. citizen from Oakland, CA, was
critically injured when he was shot in the head by a high-velocity tear gas
canister fired by the Israeli army.
Tristan was shot while photographing a weekly demonstration against the
building of the Apartheid Wall in the West Bank village of Ni'lin. The
Wall, which was declared to be illegal by the International Court of Justice
in 2004, cuts off Ni'lin from much of its agricultural lands. Since 2008,
Israel has killed four unarmed Palestinians during these weekly protests:
Yousef Amira (17), Ahmed Mousa (10), Arafat Rateb Khawaje (22), and Mohammed
Khawaje (20).
This incident comes almost exactly six years after the death of U.S. peace
activist Rachel Corrie. Rachel was killed by the Israeli military with a
Caterpillar bulldozer as she was nonviolently trying to protect a
Palestinian home from being destroyed on March 16, 2003.
Tristan's family has released a
<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=7%2B6N0qxmUozb...
FQMzIYOcC8gnIGk%2B> statement informing supporters that Tristan's condition
has stabilized and that he has been moved from emergency care to specialized
neurological intensive care unit in the Tel Hashomer hospital outside of Tel
Aviv. The family is "deeply hopeful that Tristan will recover" and is
"looking forward to when he is stable enough that he can return home to the
care and comfort of his family and community."
"In the meantime, we are deeply appreciative of the excellent care he's
receiving, the amazing support that Gaby [his girlfriend] and his friends
are providing, and the thoughts and prayers of those around the world who
are holding him in their hearts and minds. It matters tremendously as we all
hold faith for Tristan to recover and return home. Again, we are so very
grateful for the outpouring of love and support for Tristan and our family."
Cindy and Craig Corrie, the parents of Rachel Corrie, have released a
statement
<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=0Cjx4fopgF003h...
5YOcC8gnIGk%2B> on the 6th anniversary of their daughter's death: "On this
anniversary, Rachel would want us all to hold Tristan Anderson and his
family and these Palestinians [killed in Ni'lin] and their families in our
thoughts and prayers, and we ask everyone to do so..[The] attacks on all the
people of Gaza and the recent one on Tristan Anderson in Ni'lin cry out for
investigation and accountability."
TAKE ACTION
Across the country, organizations and individuals have planned vigils and
actions today to commemorate Rachel Corrie. We call on supporters to join
