Ahmed Mansour, member of the international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood, announced on his account on Facebook that the regime in Egypt is going to assassinate Pope Tawadros and accuse the Muslim Brotherhood of murdering him.
Accordingly, Copts activists called for tightening guards of the Pope fearing for his life.
Father Paul Halim, a spokesman for the Coptic Orthodox Church assured that the Church did not ask for increasing security for the Pope.
For his part, Naguib Gabriel, lawyer and head of the Egyptian Union Organization for Human Rights, said that Mansour's statement is a crime in the new anti-terrorism law, which requires arresting him.
