Thursday November 12, 2009 Religious Persecution
A Coptic Christian was believed to remain under police surveillance Friday, November 6, after he was reportedly detained for two days in central Egypt for “praying without a license.”
The Christian man said he was eventually released after two days on “compassionate grounds”, but added that Egypt’s feared State Security service has placed him under observation by three policemen.
