Rachel Corrie’s legacy of human rights activism lives on 20 years after she was killed by Israeli occupation forces while acting as a human shield in the Palestinian Rafah refugee camp.

The American activist was 23 years old and in her final year of college when she decided to see Gaza — which was in the midst of the Second Intifada — firsthand.

Since her death, Rachel’s parents, Cindy and Craig Corrie, have been fighting for accountability, suing the Israeli military and defence ministry in 2010.

An Israeli district court announced the verdict of the trial in 2012, ruling that Rachel was in a war zone and that Israel was therefore not responsible for her death, clearing the Israeli military and the driver of the bulldozer of any wrongdoing.

The ruling was condemned by human rights defenders and she has, since, become one of the symbols of the Palestinian cause.
