Sites related to ‘Daash,’ otherwise known as the ‘Islamic State’ published on Thursday pictures of the abducted Coptic workers, wearing orange execution dresses, their hands tightened with ropes, and being lead by masked men on a sea shore.
They are shown in another picture with knives put over their throats in a slaughter position.
The abductees are construction workers who belong to the Samalot and Matai districts, in the Minya governorate, in Upper Egypt.
The “Media Office” of Daesh in Tripoli has previously published their photos on January 12. The related statement announced that the abductees were Crusaders prisoners.
Thursday’s publication says that they have been “captured by members of the organization in retaliation of what the West inflicts upon Muslims.”
Families of the kidnapped workers confirmed being able to recognize their sons dressed in orange.
The families appealed to President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to intervene to save their loved ones, or at least agree to meet them in order to be to briefed on the details of the abduction of their loved ones over 40 days ago.
