The Coptic youth front has announced the presence of Amīr ‘Ayyād, a Coptic activist missing since the clashes outside the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in al-Muqattam district of Cairo, in intensive care in El Helal Hospital. ‘Ayyād was last seen near al-Nafūrah roundabout in al-Muqattam. Members of the front attempted to contact him but his phone was turned off. His body showed signs of torture similar to those in a previous statement given by another member of CYF, Mīna Sābt. While the CYF holds the Muslim Brotherhood responsible for what happended the Muslim Brotherhood has blamed the Ministry of the Interior. The Front describes the targeting of activists from the Coptic Movements as a response to the pressure exerted over the issue of the Coptic prisoners in Libya. Hānī Jazīrī, co-ordinator for the Movement of Copts for the Sake of Egypt said the kidnapping of activists was a new procedure and would result in groups terrorizing the opposition (‘Abd al-Wahāb Sha'bān, al-Wafd, Mar. 24, p. 3).
