Just read the article... It seems that the main problem that the parents have is not so much the use of the photo (if it's in the public domain, they can't object), but the use of her name (and presumably their family name) on the front, and the description of herion users as "nasty, pathetic parasites". They believe that using her image and name in the way the BNP have implies they have given consent, and are backing the leaflet.

Her mother Pauline Holcroft said: "Our biggest concern is that because they have printed Rachel's name on the front of the leaflet it looks to all intents and purposes as if we are backing it, as if we had given our consent.
"That is far from the truth."
Mrs Holcroft added: "They refer to a heroin user as a nasty, pathetic parasite.
"I am sure that I'm not the only parents who has lost somebody through heroin who would argue that I didn't view Rachel in that way."

Fairly sure that calling all heroin users (and by definition their daughter) nasty pathetic parasites didn't help.
