Hate Murder in German court
A German man stabbed an Egyptian woman in a German court. When her husband attempted to rescue her, the security guard shot him in the leg. The woman was stabbed 18 times.
This tragedy happened in front of court personnel. Although racist attacks usually happen in the dark, away from police and courts, but in this incident the event happened in broad daylight in front of the legal team.
Our concern as a human rights organization: How come a person enters the courts with a weapon such as a knife? Don’t the courts have scanning machines? And if so was it working or not? And did the security officer allowed the knife to go through? Will justice take place? Will the government of Germany introduce a system by which it will phase out hate crimes between native and ethnic minorities in Germany, be it Muslims or others?
We request the government of Germany to furnish all facts, and to have a fair public trial, and proper compensation for the victim's family, and to make sure that such hate attacks do not happen again.
Dr Marwa Al-Sherbini, the victim, had the right to the same security as any person living on German soil. It is important that the legal rights of ethnic minorities and vulnerable groups are well respected in Germany.
