Three citizens have been injured including two Copts in two sectarian fights between Copts and Muslims in al-Minyā and Abū Qurqās.  Malak Mikhael, a bread seller, arrived at the Minya security department with several wounds and stated that a Muslim person (name appeared in initials only) has tortured him in his house without a right to do so. This has led Copts to protest in front of the department calling for their “right to live safely” (Māhir ‘Abd al-Sabūr, al-Shurūq, Jan. 21, p. 8). Read original text in Arabic.
