Egyptian Police Torture Christian Convert Woman

Today we have another story from our friends at Compass Direct and I would sincerely ask that as you read this story that you take some time to pray for these precious saints after you're done.  As always, you can read the extended story at Compass Direct.

ISTANBUL, July 18 (Compass Direct News) – Security police in Alexandria, Egypt have repeatedly tortured a young woman convert to Christianity in custody since Monday (July 16). Fanatic Islamist relatives of Eman Muhammad el-Sayed, 26, attacked her on Monday while she and her husband, also a convert from Islam, were strolling through a local fair in Alexandria. El-Sayed’s male relatives immediately grabbed her and began to beat her, attempting to shove her into a car and vowing to kill her. Police intervened in the street-side fracas but promptly arrested the victim herself. Each day since then, El-Sayed has been subjected to hours of interrogation and severe physical torture in a police security headquarters in Alexandria, including electrocution of sensitive parts of her body. Egyptian convert Rasha Noor told Compass, “The Christians from Muslim background can’t change their identities, so they are always pushed by the authorities to return back to Islam – or else.”
