Dr. Kamil Sedik, secretary of the
Congregational Council in Alexandria, has condemned repeated attacks by Islamist
groups against Coptic Christians in Egypt, saying that authorities are
permitting the violence by not providing adequate security for vulnerable
Copts.
"Copts are subjected to violence by criminals, who were released
from prison by deposed President Morsi, because of their [Copts] ideological
affiliation," Sedik told Mideast Christian News.Moreover, Sedik accused government officials of failing to cope with criminal attacks against Copts.
"The government does not provide security for Copts, but it
tolerates prisoners who are under investigation," he said in reference to the
meeting between foreign officials and Khairat el-Shater, a Muslim Brotherhood
leader. Shater is currently imprisoned pending a trial for inciting the killing
of demonstrators.Read more at http://global.christianpost.com/news/egypt-authorities-permitting-attacks-on-christians-through-lack-of-action-against-perpetrators-101876/#mKIEQ07Ur6PwudTx.99
