Coptic Christians in Egypt Say They Can’t Get Justice Mina Nader 12/23/2020 An Egyptian court has acquitted three Muslim men accused of assaulting a Coptic Christian grandmother, in a case that has highlighted the sectarian tensions in the country. Egypt’s Christian community is frustrated and angry after an Egyptian court acquitted three Muslim men in an assault on an elderly grandmother, in a case illustrating the sectarian tensions in the country that has dragged on for several years. The court in Minya-Upper Egypt handed down its decision last week in the 2016 assault, which included the stripping naked of then-70-year-old Suad Thabet and the burning down of her home, and four other homes, as well as the injury of three other Copts.
