Christian in Egypt: ‘They Try to Kill Us’

 

In recent days the two  met with the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom in Cairo.   They asked for refugee status to get out of Egypt.

A source at the Commission say's its a complicated matter because Dina has a Muslim mother and there are legal issues, but their request is being considered.

The Commission source also says because of religious discrimination in Egypt, last year the State Department down graded Egypt to being on a watch list.  This year it could potentially be downgraded further to a Country of particular concern.   That means the U.S. might even consider sanctions against a Country which receives some 2 billion dollars in U.S. aid every year.
