6 British teenagers admit to deadly street attack on Mariam Mostafa

CAIRO - 30 April: Six British teenagers have admitted to their involvement in a street attack last year that left an Egyptian engineering student Mariam Mostafa, 18, fatally injured; she suffered a stroke 10 hours after the beating and died, according to the Independent newspaper Monday April 29.

Mariam’s father spoke out to claim authorities showed him ‘no respect’ by not informing him of the recent court hearing. Mohamed Mostafa said it was ‘another failure in the case of our daughter’ and his legal representative said an official complaint has been made.

"We were not informed or advised in any way, shape, or form that there was a hearing on that day, as a family we are entitled to know everything regarding our daughter’s case beforehand and not after; we should have been informed of that hearing date and time and we should have been given the opportunity to attend the hearing". he said.

"This very simple right was taken from us as well as it is not the first mistake. A lot of mistakes happened with Mariam from the very first day and now it is just normal.
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes with Mariam." he added.

In February 2018, Mariam Mostafa - based in Nottingham, UK - was tragically attacked and put into a coma by 10 British women of African descent. The incident stirred condemnation from both the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and the British Embassy in Cairo.

UK Police said there was no information to suggest the attack was motivated by racial hate, but authorities will "continue to keep an open mind."

A 17-year-old girl was arrested on suspicion of "assault occasioning grievous bodily harm" and has been released on bail, CNN reported.

The death of Mostafa has resulted outrage and infuriation in Egypt.

Mostafa’s mother posted a video on social media saying that her daughter is in critical condition due to being brutally beaten by the ten women. She claimed that the assault was race-motivated, as her daughter doesn’t actually know those girls at all and never talked with them before.

Immediately the foreign ministry announced it is following the case through the Egyptian Embassy in London and will make sure the attackers were brought to justice.
