Several Egyptian media reported in May that four Christian girls from the Upper Egyptian town of Malawi had run away from their homes. The Australian Coptic Association Youth Branch had reported these girls were kidnapped and kept insisting this had been the case also after the girls had returned home. Bishop Dimitrius and priests in Malawi disagree with the Association’s youth branch and insist the girls were not kidnapped. The RNSAW tries to explain the differences in the conflicting reports.
