Advocates are urging Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to provide condolence payments to families of civilians harmed by U.S. military actions, stressing the need for accountability.
Joanna Naples-Mitchell emphasized the dire consequences of military actions, stating, 'They lost homes, limbs and loved ones,' stressing the need for empathy and restitution.
Maha Khalil Ali highlighted the emotional aspect of compensation, saying, 'The compensation is not all about the money; it's about the rights for those who lost a loved one.'
The appeal from rights organizations to Austin for condolence payments symbolizes a critical test of the Biden administration's commitment to improving civilian casualty redress.
