Protection Of Coptic Christians In Egypt (EDM2245)

Protection Of Coptic Christians In Egypt

EDM number 2245 in 2010-12, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 13/10/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Africa and Religious discrimination.

That this House notes with alarm the sectarian violence directed at Coptic Christians in Egypt; believes that the Egyptian authorities have failed to investigate or prosecute those responsible for these attacks on Christians and their places of worship; further believes that Egyptian military and police appear to have played a role in the violence; and calls on the Government to fulfil its legal and moral responsibilities to ensure that the UN Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and Discrimination on Religion or Belief is adhered to by pressuring Egyptian authorities to provide a prompt, thorough and impartial inquiry conducted by independent judicial authorities, leading to accountability and the better protection of Egypt's Coptic Christian minority.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
