Family of Rachel Corrie Fight On

Rachel, 23, from Olympia, Washington, USA, was murdered by the Israeli army, crushed beneath the tracks of a Caterpillar bulldozer as she tried to stop the military flattening Palestinian homes in the Gaza Strip in 2003. Her family are claiming the corporation should be held accountable as it knew its products were being used to perpetrate human rights abuses in the Palestinian territories.
