The aftermath of Arab Spring has to leave us wondering is we supported the right side...
Cairo (AsiaNews / Agencies)
– The criminal court of Beni Suef (115 km south of Cairo) has sentenced
an entire family to prison for converting to Christianity. Nadia
Mohamed Ali and her children Mohab, Maged, Sherif, Amira, Amir, and
Nancy Ahmed Mohamed abdel-Wahab will spend 15 years in prison. Seven
other people involved in the case were sentenced to five years in
prison.
The case of the family of Nadia Ali Mohamed began in 2004 when, after
the conversion, she and her children decided to replace their Muslim
names on their identity cards with their Christian names and city of
residence change. To do this she was aided by seven Registry office
employees e. Born Christian, she had changed her religion to marry her
husband Mustafa Mohamed Abdel-Wahab. After the man’s death in 1991,
Nadia decided to return to her religion of origins and to push her seven
children to convert. In 2006, one of the boys was arrested by police in
an information center in the city of Beni Suef. Suspicious of the young
man from the documents he as carrying, where he had changed its name to
Bishoy Malak Abdel-Massih, police agents interrogated him for hours
until he confessed his conversion to Christianity as desired by the
mother. The judges then decide to stop not only the woman, but all of
her children and seven clerks from the registration office, responsible
for changing the documents.
