Lawyer and activist Najīb Jabrā’īl, Chairman of the Egyptian Union for Human Rights Organization, said Egyptians are one fabric that al-Tahrīr Square has seen the blood of both Muslims and Christians shed and mixed together.

He said his organization is defending the rights of Copts from a perspective of citizenship, not from a sectarian ground, adding the organization has defended the two Egyptian Muslim physicians that were whipped in Saudi Arabia by staging protests until they returned home to Egypt.
