Thugs at Shamia village in Assiut governorate decided to take their criminal actions to the next level and seized the lands of the Copts under gunpoint and the disregard of the police.
The thugs have been imposing royalties on the Copts to let them live in peace and not to kidnap their children or kill them.
It’s worth mentioning that police were reported several times, but they never moved to save the Copts even when thugs killed some of them.
