Egypt: Copts protest church attack
22/2/13 Hundreds of Copts rallied on Sunday evening February 17 against the torching of St Georges church in Sarsena on February 15, as well as the escalation of destruction of churches by Muslims. According to a story by Mary Abdelmassih for the Assyrian International News Agency (AINA), several Coptic rights groups organized a march from Shubra, a densely populated area in Cairo, to the High Court building in downtown Cairo, to “demand justice” as the organisers said. Demonstrators demanded the Sarsena church be rebuilt and the perpetrators be prosecuted, in addition to the assailants of previous attacks on the churches during the last two years since the ousting of Mubarak.
