Egyptian churches along with the Evangelical denomination in Egypt refused the European Parliament (EP)'s "Joint Motion for Resolution" document that condemns Egypt. The Motion said that Copts are being persecuted in Egypt. On the other hand, the Coptic Catholic Church refused to comment.

A Coptic Orthodox Church source refused the motion and asserted that Coptic Orthodox Pope Shenouda III is against any foreign interference in Egypt's internal affairs.
