"Our friend and fellow activist for peace, Rachel Corrie, was murdered on
Sunday March 16, when she was purposely run over by an Israeli-driven,
US-made (Caterpillar D9) "armored bulldozer", while trying to prevent a
Palestinian civilian home from being demolished by the Israeli military in
the Rafah area of the Gaza Strip.

Rachel was in Rafah volunteering for the International Solidarity Movement
(ISM), a Palestinian-led movement of both Palestinians and internationals
working together for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian
territory. Rachel and the ISM have chosen nonviolent, direct-action methods
and principles to resist the daily brutality of Israel's 36-year-old
military occupation and its ongoing and illegal land confiscation and
settlement of the West Bank and Gaza Strip."

She one of five human rights workers to be murdered by the IDF within a 6
month period around that date.
