Abba Aghabious, bishop of Dir Mawas, said that the state is forcing the Copts to accept a customary reconciliation without applying the law or punishing the aggressors.
He demanded the activation of citizenship and anti-discrimination laws to put an end to the repeated sectarian attacks against the Copts.
It’s worth mentioning that Islamists have attacked the Coptic Christians and their properties in Badrman, Minya, because of an alleged love affair between a Christian man and a Muslim woman.
