For my Coptic brothers and sisters.
May Pope Shenouda III be granted a peaceful repose in the Lord and may his memory be eternal.

CHRISTIAN MAN JAILED FOR SIX YEARS IN EGYPT FOR “INSULTING” MUHAMMAD
Defamation of Religion is considered a misdemeanour under Egyptian law, punishable by a prison sentence of one month to three years.
Makram Diab, a school secretary, was accused on 23 February of insulting Muhammad, almost two weeks after a heated discussion with a Salafi teacher at the school where they worked. The complaint was made by another teacher, who was not present during the dispute, and signed by another 11 teachers. Muslim staff at the school went on strike until Diab was arrested and prosecuted.
According to the official court version, Diab allegedly said that Muhammad had sexually harassed his disciples, but the defendant’s sister said that he had simply asked the Muslim teacher whether it was true that Muhammad had married 40 wives.
An appeal has been lodged on Diab’s behalf and will be heard on 15 March. He is being held in the high security section of the Assuit prison.

Evon Loga Gabrieul holds a portrait of her deceased son Ayman Nabil Labib, who was beaten to death by classmates on Oct. 16, at her family home in Mellawi, Egypt.
“It was because he was wearing the cross and refused to take it off, they killed him,” said the mother, Evon. “They dragged him down from his neck and beat him until he died.”
