dc.descriptionOn 6th January 2010, six Coptic deacons were murdered as they emerged from Eastern Christmas Mass in the city of Naga Hammadi in the Upper Egyptian Governate of Qena. The incident was widely held to be in retaliation for an assault on a 12-year-old Muslim girl in November 2009, a sentiment publicly endorsed by Qena Governor and Copt, General Magdi Ayoub.

For Coptic organisations, both within Egypt and in the wide Coptic diaspora, the attack was evidence of systematic persecution: the Copts were a ‘beleaguered minority’. The International Coptic Council (ICC), an umbrella body for over 100 Coptic organisations worldwide, issued a statement condemning the assault and released a series of recommendations aimed at safeguarding ‘the rights of the Coptic minorityen_US
