Prosecutor General Nabil Sadek decided on Tuesday to initiate legal investigations regarding the death of Egyptian student Shaden Mohamed in Cottbus, Germany. The 22-year-old German University in Cairo (GUC) student Shaden Mohamed was injured in a hit-and-run accident in Cottbus on 18 April during her visit to Germany and died days later in the hospital, according to local German newspapers. Spokesperson for the German prosecutor’s office Horst Nothbaum said that the driver was being investigated for “possibly causing death by negligence,” Reuters reported. Furthermore, Nothbaum explained that a new investigation of possible incitement to racial hatred would start, according to Reuters. Egyptian Minister of Immigration and Expatriate Affairs Nabila Makram said on Monday in an interview on privately owned television that the Egyptian lawyer Khaled Abu Bakr was assigned to follow up on the investigations in Germany.
