On 7 August 2013, two men on motorcycles threw acid on 18-year-old British volunteer teachers Katie Gee and Kirstie Trup near Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania.
[4] According to a close friend of the two, a Muslim woman struck Ms. Trup in the face for singing in public during Ramadan.
The two women were walking on the street on their way to dinner when their attackers approached and threw sulphuric acid on them.
Trup suffered lesser injuries because she was walking on the side of the curb away from the attackers, so was doused with less liquid.
[5] Gee lost an ear and underwent over fifty operations as of 10 May 2018, but has expressed determination to overcome the attack and a desire for justice.
