CAIRO - Coptic Christians end their 12-day protest outside the official TV building, a leading protester said Friday evening.
"The decision to end the sit-in was taken after the release of Copts arrested in a dispute over a church in (the northern Cairo district of ) Ain Shams," Bishop Mtees Nasr said.
The Copts had stayed outside the TV building near the Cairo Nile in protest against attacks against two churches in the working-class neighbourhood of Imbaba in which 15 Muslims and Copts were killed earlier this month.
