Egypt's prosecutor-general Nabil Sadek ordered on Saturday his international cooperation department to collect from UK authorities all investigative and medical reports on the case of 18-year-old Egyptian student Mariam Moustafa, who died on Wednesday of injuries sustained in an earlier attack by a group of girls outside a shopping mall in the UK.

Sadek ordered the department to collect all information on the nature of the medical treatment Moustafa received following the attack.

The 18-year-old Egyptian engineering student was attacked by a group of girls on 20 February outside Nottingham’s Intu Victoria Shopping Centre.

Earlier this month, Sadek ordered the opening of a judicial investigation into the attack on Mariam, who was still in a coma at the time.

Immigration and Expatriates Minister Nabila Makram said in a statement earlier today that she is following the case closely with Egypt’s envoy in the UK Nasser Kamal, and has mandated her deputy for Egyptian communities abroad Samir Taha with following up on the incident with the Egyptian Embassy in London.

The minister’s statement added that the Egyptian minister has contacted Mariam’s father to pursue legal action against the hospital where she had been admitted if medical negligence took place.

Makram called for Mariam’s killers to be held accountable for their “heinous crime,” asserting that the country will not abandon justice for the teenager.

Mariam's death has sparked anger at home, with Egyptian MPs denouncing investigations by the British police and alleging medical negligence that led to her death.
