Press Release: Muslim Brotherhood deplores horrific church attack

We are saddened to see that, far from fulfilling their duty of care, the military backed authorities continue to turn a blind eye to deliberate acts of arson, vandalism and murder. This is a duty of care that every Egyptian has a right to expect regardless of creed or class.

It is painful to note that Beshay Lotfi, priest of Al-Warrak Church where the attack took place, confirms a total lack of police protection since the 30th of June.

The Muslim Brotherhood deplores all forms of violence and stands in solidarity with all victims of violence and oppression everywhere.
