Egyptian student Mariam Mostafa’s death gets widespread int’l coverage

Apart from the elections, the death of Egyptian student Mariam Mostafa topped coverage of Egypt in the foreign press. Egypt is “pressing UK authorities” to move faster with the investigation into her fatal assault, while Mariam’s family has criticized British police’s failure to arrest her attackers, according to the Guardian. British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson “attempted to calm a brewing diplomatic row” over Mariam’s death — which has provoked social media outrage here in Egypt — by promising Egypt’s Foreign Ministry that British police are investigating the case. The ministry also issued a statement affirming that it is following up on the incident to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice, while a parliamentary delegation will make its way to the UK tomorrow with the same goal,Al Shorouk reports.
