Egypt: A Coptic Christian has been sentenced to five years in prison – with hard labor – for his faith. Dr. Augustinos Samaan, 37, holds a PhD in comparative religion and engaged in Christian apologetics. At one point, he spoke about anti-Christian incitement - for this he was arrested under a fraudulent charge of blasphemy. The legal proceedings appear to have been a sham. His defense counsel and family arrived at court only to discover he had already been sentenced. Even now, his defense attorney has never received a case file – and the case is over! Augustinos has reportedly been assaulted in jail – he needs immediate help and must be released. Pray for Augustinos, his family and all Coptic Christians in Egypt. #FreeAugustinos
