🇬🇧 Was death of Egyptian teen in the UK a hate crime? | Inside Story
The Egyptian government is calling for a full investigation into the death of 18-year-old Mariam Moustafa three weeks after she was attacked in the city of Nottingham. Police allege she was followed by a group of girls last month, verbally abused and punched several times. She was released from hospital but then suffered a brain haemorrhage and died after being placed in a medically-induced coma. Mariam's family suggest she was the victim of a hate crime, but detectives say there's no evidence to support that. Her family has criticised the UK police, the hospital and the government for their slow response, complaining that there's not been a proper investigation. Hate crime monitor Tell Mama reported last year that anti-Muslim attacks in the UK were on the rise, up by nearly 50 percent in 2016. And more than half the victims were women.
