Monastery says six injured in army’s removal of its illegal Wall

24/02/2011 Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Church has denounced the army’s removal of a wall enclosing a desert monastery, which accused the army of “excessive violence” that injured six staff. The army removed the wall because the monastery had not obtained a license to build it, as required by Egyptian law. In a statement on Thursday, the church said that the decision by the Anba Bishoy Church, located at Wadi al-Natrun, Beheira, to erect the wall was “unwise”
