Figen Murray tells GMB presenters Martyn's Law makes her feel like son didn't 'die for nothing'
The mother of a Manchester Arena Bombing victim who has been campaigning tirelessly for new counter terrorism laws has described announcements to push ahead with 'Martyn's Law' as making her feel her son did not 'die for nothing'. Figen Murrary, mother of Arena victim Martyn Hett, appeared on Good Morning Britain today to say she hopes it will prevent similar events in the future.
She has campaigned relentlessly for the so-called 'protect duty' since her son was killed, aged 29, alongside 21 others in the Manchester Arena terror attack in May 2017. She described this campaigning as a 'coping mechanism' for her but vowed to carry on fighting for safety and 'lending support' to see the changes fully implemented.Figen told GMB speaking live from Manchester: "It makes me feel like he’s not died for nothing.
Asked about the moment the Prime Minister rang her to announce the legislation's introduction on Martyn's 35th birthday, Figen said: "It couldn’t have come at a better time when the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak phoned me at home, it was actually the morning of Martyn’s 35th birthday. I actually said to him, that is the best birthday present anyone could have ever given to Martyn.
