Families of Egyptian Copts who were kidnapped in Libya have delayed their protest Sunday until they receive official police permit in accordance to the 2013 Protest Law.
A number of families were scheduled to demonstrate outside the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday, to demand authorities to bring back their sons who were abducted by militias in Libya.
Ayman Nageh, the brother of one of the kidnapped workers, said his brother disappeared a year ago in Libya and that his kidnappers contacted the family and threatened to kill him.
Meanwhile, Youm7 quoted early Sunday Libyan local media outlets as saying that 23 Egyptian workers were kidnapped by a group of militants on their way to the Libyan-Egyptian border.
