Mortada Mansour, the former president of Zamalek Club, has taken on the case of the death of student Rawan Nasser, who died under mysterious circumstances after falling from the top of the Faculty of Science building at Zagazig University. The recent incident has sparked widespread controversy in the academic community, particularly among students who have expressed their outrage at the details of the incident, which remain unclear to this day.
Mansour, known for his stance on controversial cases, officially announced his adoption of the case amidst growing pressure from students. He stated in a press interview, "I have received numerous requests from students at Zagazig University asking me to intervene in this case, and I am fully prepared to follow up on the investigations and demand the full disclosure of all the details of the incident until the perpetrator is brought to justice, should criminal suspicion be proven." Mansour emphasized his commitment to following the case until justice is served, stressing that "the rights of student Rawan must be restored, and there is no room for leniency, no matter the identities of the involved parties."
In the initial investigation, it was reported that Rawan Nasser fell from one of the university buildings in an incident that claimed her life, raising many questions about the circumstances surrounding the accident. Initially, it was suggested that the incident was accidental, but suspicions grew among the students, who pointed to the possibility of negligence or complicity by the responsible parties. This uncertainty prompted many students to organize protests within the university campus, demanding the revelation of the true details of the incident and the prosecution of those responsible.
In response to these protests, a source at Zagazig University denied the rumors circulating on social media about the arrest of the Dean of the Faculty of Science on charges related to Rawan's death. The source clarified that these reports were untrue, that investigations were still ongoing, and that no formal charges had been filed against anyone. The source added, "The rumors about the dean's arrest or trial are pure fabrication, and the investigations are still proceeding legally."
Regarding the news that students were prevented from taking exams after their protests, the university confirmed that this information was inaccurate, stating that the exams were held as scheduled without any disruptions. The university official said, "The university cannot prevent students from taking their exams, and this claim is completely unfounded."
Meanwhile, the investigation into the death of Rawan Nasser continues amid public and university anticipation for the full disclosure of the details surrounding the incident. Students continue to pressure the university administration to clarify the circumstances of the incident, pointing out that security measures on campus may need to be seriously reviewed to prevent such incidents in the future.
In light of this escalation, Mortada Mansour, who has taken on the case, continues his efforts to shed light on the matter, reiterating that he will not back down from supporting the student's rights until justice is achieved. In his press statements, Mansour stressed the importance of ensuring the victims' right to justice, saying, "I will not abandon this case until those involved in the incident are prosecuted, whether they are from within the university or outside of it."
The case remains under the public eye, with growing calls for full disclosure of the incident and the prosecution of those responsible. While the truth remains unclear, pressure is mounting on the relevant authorities to take decisive legal action and provide clear answers to all those following the case.
