Demonstration of copts in Bern

Sydney, Vienna, London, Berlin and now Bern, the capital of Switzerland: Copts all over the world are demonstrating against the attack on Christians in Nag Hammadi on Christmas Eve.

      

The Copts of Switzerland gathered on the 23th of January for a manifestation in Bern to show their solidarity with their brothers and sisters in Egypt. Around 200 Copts from all parts of the country were chanting hymns and slogans, carrying banners condemning the massacre in Egypt, demanding an end to the discrimination and persecution of the Copts and thereby raising awareness among the Swiss people of what is happening to the Christians in Egypt.
