Marwa: A Call for Justice

After 3 months of stabbing her, the trial of Marwa El Sherbini’s killer is to begin at the end of this month according to a recent update from Crimeside at courtroom in Dresden, Germany on the 26^th unless another date is set. Hopefuly [incha'allah] this shall be the final date for starting such expected trial.

Justice for Marwa

I am writing about this not only because I am Egyptian and both Marwa and Elwi are; not only because I am Arab/Muslim and both are; rather I do so mainly because -surprisingly- what had happened in the court on the 1^st of July is not an imagination of an author who aimed to make suspense in a novel/movie/play however it is a true story and horrible one indeed which reflects the conclusion I reached many years ago that truth on the ground is always bitter than what any authors might create in their novels and plays due to the complication of the human nature.

Why Justice?

I believe that the point of any juridical system is securing people by achieving justice via compensating from the killers whether they are ‘lone wolf’ / ‘neo-nazi’ / ‘Russian-born’ or even ‘Bogeyman’. Whatever!

This is what I am looking forward for by the German justice system that is dealing with the case since the circumstances took place in Germany and remember that it is not only about Marwa but also Elwi too who was badly injured while defending both his wife & the unborn baby who was killed since she was pregnat. Needless to mention that the whole crime happended in front of Mustapha, their 3 years old boy at this time. May Allah (God) rest her soul and the baby soul in peace. Amen!

For that matter, this is neither a call against Germany nor against Germans but rather it is simply the title of this post: “ A Call for Justice ” and let us put the common stereotype images aside a little bit.

Helping Marwa

May be we are not member of the defending team but as bloggers and/or readers, we can help by raising the awareness about the case straightforward to the point:

• Place your thoughts and call for justice over your space;
• If you are on twitter, use #Marwa in your tweets for this case;
• Do make your prayers for the case whoever you are.

Nevertheless, whether you are blogger or not, prayers are needed and welcomed. Hereby, I am not calling only Egyptians, Arab and Muslims to make their prayer for but rather I am calling any body who read this to make supplications for her in your way and your language.

My Blog has been following this case in 3 previous posts in order to raise awareness about this and remember that everybody will leave this life in his/her time so let us do our share and simply call for justice.

p.s. This was a sticky post on the Frontpage of the blog -from October 14^th to October 26^th- till the start of the trial.
