We remember Marwa El-Sherbini. In a conversation with Youmna Fouad and Katharina Wüstefeld , we shed light on the hesitancy of official reactions, the fears triggered by racist violence, but also experiences from migrant and Muslim self-organization and the resistant thematization of anti-Muslim racism.
About the event
Egyptian athlete and scientist Marwa El-Sherbini was murdered on July 1, 2009 by the man who had previously racially insulted her and her children. He would not accept a previous conviction; in the Dresden Regional Court, he stabbed her to death when she testified as a witness.
