A New Coptic Martyr - شهيد قبطي جديد
Taken from the site of the Free Copts. In referring to this article, please link to the following page: http://www.freecopts.net/english/content/view/268/9
Hani Sarofim Nasrala Issak, a soldier in the Egyptian army, was tortured and killed last week after refusing to convert to Islam.
Hani's family issued a statement about the incident. In translation, the statement says:
Our son, the soldier Hani Sarofim Nasrala, from the village of Rahmaneya Kebly in the city of Nag Hamadi of the Qena governorate, was a soldier in the southern sector of the city of Aswan. His unit number was 2152C33. We found him drowned in the Nile near the city of Nag Hamadi. Marks of torture covered the entirety of his body. Earlier, Hani had told his family that there were problems between him and the direct leader of his unit because Hani was a Christian. He also told his family that his leader used to molest and torture him in front of his peer soldiers. When his leader asked him blatantly to reject Chrisitianity and convert to Islam, Hani refused and told him he would notify the military intelligence. The leader threatened him saying "Ok Hani, I will settle things with you!" The leader subsequently arranged to kill Hani by sending him to a station near his village, at Nag Al-Ghaliz of the city of Nag Hamadi, in order to eliminate any suspicions about the plan. At that time, Hani was supposed to be on an official vacation of eight days, which would end on July 30th 2006. He also had two permissions for one other vacation, which would have finished on August 13th 2006, in case one of the two permissions got lost. An official report was filled at the Nag Hamadi police station under the number 5251 year of 2006.

I don't know how come the MECA website doesn't work for you guys. Maybe it's banned in some countries?
Plese keep us posted on any actions by the egyptian government to find the murderers.
OH MY GOD! how much of an epidemic is these atrocities in Egypt? (I had no clue about how the copts are regarded in Egypt)
As a muslim, I'm disgusted by such an horror. How some muslims can make such a butchery? Why the Egyptian State make nothing in order to protect the coptic minority? Is it going to say again and again this is the fault of "the Israël's propaganda"?
God bless the victim and punish his killers
Pacific Waters, Ghassan, and Isamel;
Thank you for your kind replies and concern. The situation of the Copts in Egypt is indeed alarming. Unfortunately many people know very little about it, in spite of the fact that the internet is full of detailed atrocities that Copts have been facing in modern Egypt because of their religion.
Please keep the Coptic nation in your prayers!
Ce nouveau matyr copte a affronté l'instinct de la Bête dont parle l'Apocalypse.
C'est un grand courage aujourd'hui que de mourir en vrai martyr (aucun rapport avec les barbares islamistes
qui torturent, tuent ou se font sauter parmi d'autres).
Qu'il repose en paix, cet agneau de Dieu.
Signé : un Philosophe Juif (et par ailleurs "Sioniste").
Amitié aux vrais Libanais, libérés du Hezbollah, de la Syrie et de la guerre.
Merci de faire passer le message à la famille.
Each time I open yr. blog, Lanternix, and I see the soldier's picture I tell, maledetti bastardi !!!
First time I saw this ugly story was on a french blog, resiliencetv.fr, or france-echo.com, I sent this story to all people I know, all around the world, to let know what happens in Egypt.
I'm deaply sorry for this unfortunate young boy. Assassinated in that way, because not muslimn, that is completely idiot.
What can I tell to his family... there are not words.
Lanternix, I know everything happens in Egypt, everything, you know what I mean...
Anonymous, merci bien pour tes mots de consolation! Oui, qu'il repose en paix.
Oriana, grazie! Si, sono bastardi e tutto il mondo dove conoscere lo che succede oggi in Egitto.
