Gamal Mubarak Meets With Coptic Leaders In U.S. In Advance Of Father's Visit
The Egyptian daily Al-Masryoon reported that during his recent visit to the U.S., Gamal Mubarak, the son of Egyptian Prime Minister Hosni Mubarak, met with Copt leaders in the U.S., in an attempt to deal with problems connected to the Copts in Egypt, and thus to prevent protests by Copts during his father's visit to the White House next month.
Coptic organizations abroad sent Egyptian Ambassador to Washington Sameh Shukri several demands in exchange for quiet on their part during the visit.
The demands included the removal of obstacles to the construction and renovation of churches in Egypt, and fair treatment of Copts by security apparatuses in the country.
