Ehab Ramzy, lawyer of the Christian woman who was stripped of her clothes by a Muslim mob in Minya, said he would resort to the last legal step he could take regarding the incident, which is filing a grievance with the top prosecutor to reinitiate investigations. Egyptian prosecutors threw out the case on Saturday, January 14, citing lack of sufficient evidence as their reason for the decision, according to Ramzy. "How was the incident not referred to court, despite the woman and her husband's testimonies and the testimonies of witnesses? This, in addition to the [evidence from] criminal investigations that proved the incident?" Ramzy said in a statement on Monday.
