Moderate Egypt

Persecution.org:

A Muslim sheikh jailed in Egypt for 18 months has declared from his prison cell that he is under arrest for “insulting Islam” by becoming a Christian.

Egypt’s secret police transferred Bahaa el-Din Ahmed Hussein el-Akkad, 57, to the Wadi el-Natroun Prison last month. He was told he would remain there indefinitely unless he agreed to work as a government informer against other converts to Christianity.

According to the prisoner’s Cairo attorney, Athanasius William, his client remains incarcerated in this desert prison “only because he has chosen a different belief, to be a Christian.”

The Sandmonkey:

The guy got arrested for converting to christinaity and have been rotting in prison for the past 18 months for it. I don't think I need to tell you how much of a violation to his rights this is, but then again, this is Egypt, and we really have no rights to speak of.
