Martyn’s Law: A Mother’s Triumph

In the UK, "Martyn's Law" has received royal assent, aiming to enhance security at venues to prevent terror attacks. Named after Martyn Hett, a 2017 Manchester Arena bombing victim, it mandates safety measures in places with 200+ capacity, like staff training and CCTV. His mother, Figen Murray, campaigned for years, turning grief into legislation, hoping tragedies like her son's death won't repeat. Despite the long wait, she expresses bittersweet pride, feeling her son’s passing has meaning in promoting public safety.
