holiday

The governorate national day is celebrated on June 13th. On June 13, 1906, indignant peasants killed a British officer in Dinshawaiafter a villager was injured in a pigeon hunt by British officers. A British military tribunal sentenced 59 villagers, four of them to death. The peasants are considered the martyrs of the nationalist movement that was budding in Egypt at the time. The arbitrary judgment also caused a stir in Great Britain. In December 1907 the British government ordered the release of the peasants and the impeachment of the British Consul General in Egypt, Evelyn Baring, 1st Earl of Cromer, also known as Lord Cromer.
