by Hanan Fikry- Watani
"Why should researchers and students not be able to study the Coptic language, history, art, music, and manuscripts within Egypt’s universities? Why should the findings of such research not be made available to the public through educational materials and documentary productions?"

⚖️ 10 YEARS IN PRISON — A CALL FOR JUSTICE IN EGYPT

On October 6, an Egyptian military court upheld the 10-year prison sentence against Kirollos Heshmat, owner of Koko & S, in a case involving 1,100 stolen educational tablets.

Heshmat maintains he purchased the devices without knowing they were stolen. His family says those higher up the chain were released, while he, unaware of the original source and at the bottom of the chain, was tried and sentenced.

Coptic Solidarity joins the call for a fair trial, due process, and justice.

Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights - المبادرة المصرية للحقوق الشخصية calls for immediate release of six young Christians detained over video recreating movie scene.
"The video was far from unique. Searching TikTok for the Arabic phrase “straighten the rows” brings up hundreds of videos recreating the same scene using the same audio track. EIPR stressed that posting a comedy clip on social media cannot justify detention, whether for these six or anyone else who has shared similar videos."

By EIPR – The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) condemned the arrest of six young Christians from Ezbet Tanious in the village of Taha al-Aamida, in Minya’s Samalout district, for posting a short video recreating a comedy scene from Khalawis, a film released in Egyptian cinemas in 2...

🚨 SIX YOUNG CHRISTIANS DETAINED IN EGYPT — ONE IS UNDER 18!

Six Coptic Christian youths face detention for recreating a comedy movie scene that has become a widespread social media trend. Tens of similar videos have circulated made by Muslims, yet these six Christians are the only ones facing prosecution.

Meanwhile, their families have reportedly received hundreds of threatening messages from Muslims, raising serious concerns about their safety. Human rights advocates are demanding their immediate release and an end to this alarming double standard.

Religious freedom, equal justice, and the protection of minorities must never be optional.
