I can relate the story of the man who was called a martyr to urban legends and/or mass hysteria. Usually, because of the carelessness in relating a story, or some kind of condition which has made people vulnerable to suggestion or mentally traumatized, someone will begin to say something or do something, and because of suggestion or trauma everyone will believe it. The fact that the woman had no proof that the man was a martyr and simply announced it reinforces this. The situation was, obviously, the political instability at the time.
