City council of Tahta, Suhag, has prevented building a licensed church In Nag Shenouda Rizk.
The city council refused to issue a demolition license of the old houses.
In 1965, a Coptic man has donated a piece of land to build a mosque in the village in order to allow the Copts to build a church, but the extremists refused to allow Christians to build that church ever since leaving no option before the Copts but to pray in their homes.
