The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) renewed his refusal of the Supreme State Security Court’s ruling  on July 28 regarding Abū Qurqās al-Balad and al-Madīnah al-Fikrīa’s sectarian attacks of April 18, 2011, asking the Interim President,  Adlī Mansūr, not to ratify the judgment. The Supreme State Security Court in Minya ruled that the Christians accused in the case get 25 years prison sentence followed by 5 years of police probation while the  Muslims get 15 years of high security prison followed by 5 years of police probation (Isrā' Ibrāhīm, Copts United Website, Aug.4). Read original text in Arabic.
