To Whom It May Concern:
Dear Coptic united Staff
I sent this message to you to stand by those people who are under persecution Group of Muslims attacked their Christian neighbors, took over their houses, lands, and kicked some of them out. The area is by Awana village, Sahel Saleem, Assiut governorate. Large group of houses located on both sides of a stream. Each person owns the land behind his house. Each piece of land is between 2 to 5 acres. The Muslim group threaten to kill their Christian neighbors if they don’t leave their houses. They took their properties, cows and sheep. Some of people locked their doors, but they can’t water their animals nor they can get their needs and some left their homes because they are being afraid to be killed. Even old sick women were kicked away.
Name of Muslims who led the attack are: Momen Sad Al Ghanemy, Sayed Saad Al Ghaneemy, Ali Ali Reiad Mohammad Sayed, and Muhammad Reyad Muhammad Sayed.
Once the Christian group reported the incident to the police. The police arrested more Christians leaving Muslims to take over Christians’ properties! The police tortured a sick young Christian man to make a false statement at the Niaba office to turn the wheel against Christians then they sent them to Amn Al Dawala who arrested more Christians and looking for other relatives who are related to the persecuted ones. Amn Al Dawala also arrested someone who live in Cairo for many years and travelled to Assiut to help or find out a way to solve the problem.
The Christians who were kicked out of their homes and arrested by the police and Amn Al Dawla are Raiad Bishay in age of 70s and hard to see. Mansour age of 60, Samir Riad who is married and lives in Cairo and came to Assiut after hearing about the incident, Nadi Riad who live and married in Cairo for 12 years. Onsy Riad who is the youngest son, sick, and tortured by the police to say false statement, and other people whom I don’t know their names. As I heard for sure, one relatives for the Muslim neighbors is in Niaba so they were set free but not the Christians.
Please stand by them to be back home and find place to live. Please respond to my email, so I can provide you with phone number to call me.
