imges Coptic Christian Arrested for Offending Muslims, Witch-Hunt for 5 Others

Earlier this week, security agents arrested Gad Yusif Yunan, a 22-year-old Coptic Christian man who works as an English teacher in Nasriya village, Upper Egypt, on the charge of “contempt of religions.”  He is accused of posting a 30-second video on his personal Facebook page that deals with Muslim prayers and is apparently insulting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once local Muslims discovered it, they informed security agents who arrested him in the late night.  Security is also looking for five others believed to have been involved in the film.

 

The young Copt is reportedly being held for four days pending investigations in his exact role in this 30-second-film

 

Although Egypt’s “contempt of religions” law theoretically applies to all religions—theoretically means if a Muslim insults Christians or Christianity in Egypt, he too should be arrested—it is used exclusively to target Egypt’s Christian minorities.
