EGYPTIAN POLICE PROTECT COPTIC GIRL’S KIDNAPPERS
Christian Father Denied Access to Teenage Daughter (compassdirect.org)
ISTANBUL, October 27 (Compass) -- An Egyptian Coptic Christian teenager kidnapped a month ago by Muslims who claim she’s converted to Islam is being refused direct access to her Christian family. According to Nagy Edwar Nagy, his sister disappeared on September 27, the day after she had celebrated her 19th birthday at their family home in El-Maryouteya El-Haram. Ingy Nagy Edwar, is reportedly being held against her will by a Muslim couple in the Haram district of Giza governate, adjacent to Cairo. State security police officials temporarily detained her father and other male relatives a few days after her disappearance, showing them an alleged declaration of conversion to Islam signed by the girl. That same day, the Giza State Security Directorate held a hearing on the girl’s case, producing Ingy herself dressed in an Islamic veil. “She was not in a normal mood,” Nagy stated. At a second hearing on October 18, the girl did not come, sending word instead that she was very sick. Ingy’s family believes the girl is being given drugs which affect her moods. A third hearing on Ingy’s case has been set for Saturday, November 1, when her father will press for his parental rights to regain custody of his daughter. “She told me by phone she wants to commit suicide,” Nagy told Compass last week. “She is going through a hard, hard time.”
