Ten days following the death of 22-year-old Egyptian student, Shaden Mohamed al-Gohary, in Germany, the local authorities have re-opened investigation after new witness testimonies claimed that the accident was a hate crime. Gohary's friends and passersby took her to hospital where she died few days later due to serious injuries. New witness testimonies, however, claimed that the passengers in the car shouted racial slurs at Gohary. Contrary to recent witness testimonies, a group of Gohary's friends shared a post on Facebook asking people to stop sharing news about this being a racially-charged attack. Egyptian Ambassador to Germany, Badr Abdul Atty, said on Wednesday that the Egyptian Embassy in Berlin is following up on the investigation.
