Head of the Egyptian Coptic Church Pope Shenouda III on Wednesday denounced the use of force against Coptic Christian protesters.
The statement followed Wednesday’s clashes with security over a decision to stop construction on a Giza church. Authorities claim the church lacked the required permits.
The violence left one Copt dead and scores injured.
