1 JULAI 2009 : Marwa Sherbini, 32, was stabbed to death last week in a court in Dresden, a killing that caused outrage in Egypt.
She had been giving evidence against her killer after he called her a "terrorist" in a playground.
The head of the Arab League told the BBC the incident reflected a failure of dialogue between civilisations.
Ms Sherbini was stabbed 18 times by a 28-year-old Russian identified as Alex W, who leapt across the courtroom during an appeals hearing and attacked her in front of her husband and son.
Prosecutors said the Russian, who had been found guilty in November of insulting and abusing the woman, had a deep hatred of Muslims and acted alone.
'Hate crime'
Ms Sherbini's husband was attacked by the assailant as he tried to defend his wife and was also accidentally shot by German police.
He is in hospital in critical condition.
The Egyptian media have expressed outrage, asking how the incident was allowed to happen and dubbing Ms Sherbini "the martyr of the Hijab", in reference to her Islamic headscarf.
The German government was criticised for what was seen to be a muted reaction.
