A Christian convert in Egypt faces a trial over his attempt to change his legal documents to reflect his newfound faith.
Said Abdelrazek, who turned from Islam to Christianity, has been accused of terrorism merely for trying to amend the papers, according to a report from International Christian Concern.
The ministry noted that Abdelrazek will therefore face proceedings before the First Criminal Terrorism Circuit in Badr — a court that is notorious for disappearing convicts and practicing other “opaque proceedings” — on April 21.
“The Badr court complex, where Abdelrazek’s hearing will take place, has drawn increasing concern from international observers,” International Christian Concern warned.
“Critics argue that its terrorism circuits operate with minimal transparency and routinely deny defendants basic legal protections.”
