Hundreds turned out to mark the birthday of Romi Gonen (left) and to add pressure to secure a 'last chance' deal to free the 115 remaining hostages. Meirav Gonen (left), 54, asked supporters to wear leopard skin print to mark the sombre occasion in a nod to the outfit her daughter was wearing when she was kidnapped.

Roshonara Choudhry, a 21-year-old boy, was sentenced to life at the Old Bailey in 2010 for attempting to murder Labour MP Stephen Timms for supporting the Iraq War. She struck him with a three-inch kitchen knife at a constituency surgery in Newham, east London, on May 14, 2010 to 'get revenge for the people of Iraq.' The married politician, who was 55 at the time of the attack, was knifed twice in the stomach, suffering bleeding wound lacerations to his liver's left lobe, but recovered after surgery. Choudhry, who was found guilty of attempted murder and prisoned for a minimum of 15 years, had been radicalized online, avidly following terror preachers' sermons.

That's cowardly. And for those y'all Black Lives Matter [supporters] who aren't saying anything, f*** you.'
