Al-Misrī al-Yawm carries an article by Dr. Rif'at al-Sa'īd of the National Progressive Unionist Party, who says: “To the respectable Dr. Muhammad Mursī: Since your assumption of the presidency attacks on our brother Copts have increased alarmingly, without there being a genuine and decisive reaction on your part or that of the security forces.
