Cairo: Return of 14-year-old Copt kidnapped by two imams
Egyptian Muslims seem to make a habit of abducting Christian children and trying to pressure them to convert to Islam.
Kirollos Refat Ibrahim, 14-year-old Coptic boy, was returned after being kidnapped for nine months. He was forcible [sic] detained by two Imams (Muslim spiritual leaders) on the roof top of a mosque, in Manshiet Nasr, Cairo.
During that period he was forced to learn to recite the Koran.
Human rights activist Magdy Ramzy, together with the head of Criminal Investigations in Gamalia Police Station, Mofid Mohamed Mofid, were able today to free 14-year-old Kirollos.
This crime is so heinous that Egyptian authorities are taking it very seriously. The Gamalia Prosecutor has ordered the arrest of the two imams.
