Egyptian woman goes on hunger strike after son killed by celebratory gunfire at wedding.
Pictures, paintings and drawings of a smiling 13-year-old who was killed by celebratory gunfire adorn the Cairo home of Marwa Kenawy, a heartbroken mother who is relentlessly calling for justice for her son.
With one of the culprits being a police officer and the other the son of a late member of parliament, the 45-year-old woman is worried they are being protected by their connections. Celebratory gunfire is a common practice at weddings in southern Egypt and rural parts of the country, but has now spread to more urban areas such as the capital.
