Hanaan Shahin

Hanaan Shahin is the mother of Wadee Alfayoumi, a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy who was tragically murdered in a hate crime incident in Illinois. Shahin sustained critical injuries during the attack perpetrated by her landlord, Joseph Czuba, who was convicted of multiple charges, including murder and hate crimes. The attack occurred shortly after the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East, with Shahin reportedly asking Czuba to 'pray for peace' before the violent confrontation took place.
