The 21, of whom 20 were Egyptian Coptic migrant labourers in Libya, and one was Ghanaian, were beheaded for their faith as they knelt in orange jumpsuits on a beach in Sirte, Libya. 

The last words they all uttered was a soft prayer: “My Lord Jesus Christ”.

The bodies of the 21 were found in a mass grave in Libya in October 2017, together with their orange jumpsuits. They were identified by DNA testing, and the 20 Copts were in 2018 returned to Egypt, to the village of al-Our, Minya, some 250km south of Cairo, the home village of 13 of the martyrs. They were were buried in a special shrine in a church at al-Our built in their honour in 2018 by the Egyptian State and Coptic Church. Given that no one had claimed the body of the Ghanaian martyr, the Coptic Church, in response to wide demand by the Coptic congregation, asked the Libyan government for the body to be brought to Egypt to be buried next to his fellow martyrs. The Church pledged to hand the body over to any official claimant through official channels. The body was shipped to Egypt in 2020, and is buried in the shrine of the 21.
