ICC Note:
Since Egypt’s revolution in 2011, more than 80 Christians have been killed and several churches have been destroyed, prompting more than a hundred thousand Christians to seek immigration and leave their homeland permanently. The revolution, which hoped to instill democratic change and greater freedoms, has instead given unprecedented freedoms to Islamists—with the Muslim Brotherhood at the forefront—to impose a radical Islamic agenda over Egyptian society. Raymond Ibrahim writes for The Algemeiner that in post-revolution Egypt Christians are “legally” persecuted.

Released on bail, Dimyana is unable to talk and “suffering a nervous breakdown.”
