Egypt’s patriarch, Pope Shenouda III, has announced that the Coptic
community will not forget the blood of those who died during the events
at the Omraneya church last month.
During his weekly sermon on Wednesday evening, the pope insisted that
the church will do its best to bring justice to the victims and punish
all the perpetrators, adding that Coptic blood is not cheap.
On 24 November, fights broke out between hundreds of Copts and
policemen after the construction of a service center inside a Church in
Omraneya, Giza, was ordered to stop due to lack of a proper building
permit.
The violence led to the death of two Copts.
