Verdict in Corrie Lawsuit Postponed

The International Middle East Media Center posts Verdict in Corrie Lawsuit Postponed on 11 April 2012 by Rachel Corrie Foundation.

The announcement of a verdict in the civil lawsuit against the State of Israel for the killing of peace activist Rachel Corrie, which was scheduled for late April, has been postponed due to delays in the filing of closing arguments. A new verdict date has not yet been scheduled by the court, but is likely to be months away.

This has been going on since 2005. At least, the family got a hearing in an Israeli court and the government has provided witnesses.

After more than nine (9) years since her death, I can recall the sarcastic comments by co-workers about her death. Bravery in the face of hegemonic power is always ridiculed. Whereas bravery in service of the same is feted and lionised.
