Christian Copts in Egypt Continue to Suffer Discrimination, New Laws Are Needed, Says Judge [The Christian Post]

A prominent judge in Egypt has called on the government to ensure the equitable treatment of Copts in the country.

Judge Amir Ramzi has insisted Egyptian government needs to criminalize discrimination, as well as allow conversions from Islam to Christianity.

Ramzi denounced the kidnapping of Copts and asking for ransom from their relatives, a phenomenon that has significantly increased recently.

Thus, the Supreme Judicial Council has begun to take action against judges who declared their loyalty to the Brotherhood, viewing this as an official declaration of non-neutrality," Ramzi told Mideast Christian News.
