Fadime Sahindahl's grave

Fadime Sahindal's (1975-2002) murder got lots of attention in January 2002.

She was shot dead by her father in so called "honour killing". As I spend this summer in Uppsala I searched her grave.


It is in the old graveyard near the Cathedral.

The grave is easy to find because there are maps in the grave yard showing where are the graves of famous persons.

In the small grave stone is picture of a pigeon and two hands. Symbol for peace. There is also a small stone heart in her grave.
