The killing of
British lawmaker Jo Cox, who was shot and stabbed in the street last
week, was an act of terror, her husband said on Wednesday.
Cox, a
supporter of Britain’s European Union membership who had also campaigned
for Britain to do more to help refugees, was killed in her northern
English electoral district by a man heard shouting “Britain first”.
“Jo’s
killing was political. It was an act of terror designed to advance an
agenda of hatred towards others,” Brendan Cox told a memorial in
London’s Trafalgar Square to mark what would have been her 42nd
birthday.
