Nādir al-Sīrafī, media spokesman for the Copts 38 movement, described the participation of some Copts in the August 24th demonstrations and their sit-in in front of the presidential palace as circumventing a document of the Azhar. He pointed out that the movement had not adopted a specific position on participation in the demonstrations as the objectives were not clear (Hibah Mustafá, al-Hurīyah wal-‘Adālah, August 26, p. 16). Read text in Arabic on AWR.
