Pope Tawadros offers condolences on Coptic martyr Mary George

Also Bishop Raphael, Secretary of the Holy Synod, has visited the family to offer his sincere condolences on the death of the Coptic girl. 
 
Pro Muslim-Brotherhood supporters recognized that she was a Christian by the cross on her car. These Muslim-Brotherhood supporters then specifically targeted her even though she had no involvement in the clashes between the Islamists and security forces. They jumped on top of her vehicle to the point that the roof collapsed. 
 
In what can only be described as a savage and ruthless attack, Mary George was violently removed from her vehicle, severely beaten and mauled – portions of her scalp and hair were pulled off. She was repeatedly stabbed, with some accounts saying up to 16 times, and she died in a humiliated and abject state. Afterwards, her car, with the hanging cross, was burnt.
