providing all kinds of services and assistance to both Muslims and
Christians.
We call on all interested parties to intervene for their immediate release
in the interest of their safety.
We call on Minister Habib el Adly, Minister of Interior to intervene for
their immediate release, and give orders to his men to refrain from striking
at the social peace in our beloved Egypt, and from attacking human rights
activists and those who work towards the safety of our country.
We would also like to draw the Minister's attention that the State Security
Service officers in Alexandria intimidate anyone who tries to volunteer in
services for the benefit of the Copts in Egypt
An example for this is Mr. Nashat El-Fol Samuel who has been detained
without any charges since four months in the Algharbiniyat's prison, at
Alexandria West. This happened exactly on Monday, 1/9/2008. He is a high
school teacher and owner of "El-Dakheyla Educational Institute" He is known
to the National Party, has been very active in El-Dakheyla area, and was
preparing himself to be nominated for the next elections of the People's
Assembly and Shura Council. He is a member of the 'intercession councils for
the resolving of conflicts' at the El-Dakheyla Police Headquarters. He is
also known to provide his assistance to all Muslims and Christians alike.
We at 'Egypt for Christ' call upon everyone, to intervene for the immediate
release of the Christian detainees, for the sake of our Country's safety,
and in order to foil all the wicked plans of those who conspire against the
security and safety of the Christians in Egypt.
