CAIRO – 17 March 2022: Egypt praised, on Thursday, a recent decision by the German government to name a park in front of a court in Dresden city after the late Egyptian citizen Marwa el-Sherbini, who was stabbed to death in Germany in 2009.
Khaled Abu Bakr, the lawyer for the Egyptian Defense Authority in the case, published a picture of the garden bearing the late woman’s name, on his Facebook page, commenting: “After more than 10 years .. the German government decided to name a garden, where Marwa el-Sherbini lost her life, after her name.”
The crime took place after a verbal altercation occurred between “Marwa” and German citizen of Russian origin, Alex Wiens, in a children’s park. Wiens insulted her for wearing the Hijab “veil/headscarf covering Muslim Women’s hair”, which prompted her to sue him for verbal abuse and won the case, while he was fined 780 Euros.
