Egypt will honour ‘veil martyr’ with street name

The hometown of a pregnant Egyptian woman stabbed to death in a German courtroom is to honour the ‘veil martyr’ with a street in her name, Egypt’s official Mena news agency reported yesterday. Alexandria governor Adel Labib “agreed to give the name of martyr Marwa al-Sherbini” to a street in the northern Egyptian Mediterranean city, Mena quoted Labib as saying during a commemoration ceremony. Sherbini, 31, died in a courtroom in the east German city of Dresden after being stabbed at least 18 times in front of her three-year-old son and her husband, allegedly by a Russian-born German man.
