Slain Egyptian memorialised
Hundreds of people carrying white roses have gathered in a German city to honouran Egyptian woman who was fatally stabbed in a courtroom in eastern Germany last week.
The crowd massed at the city hall on Saturday in honour of MarwaSherbini who was knifed 18 times as she testified in a court in Dresdenagainst a young German of Russian descent who was appealing his conviction.
TheJuly 1 attack was allegedly carried out by the defendant who previouslycalled Marwa Sherbini an "Islamist" and a "terrorist" for wearing thehijab (Muslim headscarf).
Marwa Sherbini, 31, was a pharmacist and three months pregnant when she was stabbed, witnessed by her three-year-old son. Her husband was injured when he intervened to protect her and remains hospitalised.
The attacker, identified only as Alex W., 28, is still in detention pending the outcome of an investigation on suspicion of murder.
Several portraits of the young woman with a headscarf were on the steps of Dresden's town hall for the public memorial organised by local civil rights groups on Saturday.
Outrage
The ceremony drew more than 1,000 people, including the Egyptian ambassador and officials from the state of Saxony, where the stabbing incident took place.

"This crime by a lone wolf destroyed a family's hopes within minutes," said Ramzy Ezzeldin Ramzy, the Egyptian ambassador.
"We expect the attacker to be swiftly sentenced and her family to receive justice."
Ramzy said he was convinced "this act does not reflect the realityof the German people ... [who] have an open mind, including to peopleof other faiths".
The incident sparked outrage among the Muslim community and in Egypt, where the German response is seen as too little, too late, and as an example of racism and anti-Muslim sentiment.
Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, asked German Chancellor Angela Merkel to ensure swift justice when they met at G8 summit in Italy.
Merkel expressed her condolences to Mubarak on Thursday and sent her top official for immigration affairs to offer sympathy to Sherbini'shusband, but has not publicly condemned the slaying.
In London, a Muslim group gathered outside the German embassy to protest Sherbini's death carrying signs saying Muslims are being treated as second-class citizens and calling for an end to Islamophobia. |

there's different versions in the news. some said those in the court just looked on as marwa sherbini was stabbed 18 times while others said they were all stunned for long minutes. some said the security guards deliberately shot her husband as he tried to protect his wife and some said they've mistaken him for the assailant. at times emotions overule facts on the ground :re: |
