A Christian convert in Egypt faces a trial over his attempt to change his legal documents to reflect his newfound faith.<\/p>\n

Said Abdelrazek, who turned from Islam to Christianity, has been accused of terrorism merely for trying to amend the papers, according to a report<\/a> from International Christian Concern.<\/p>\n

The ministry noted that Abdelrazek will therefore face proceedings before the First Criminal Terrorism Circuit in Badr \u2014 a court that is notorious for disappearing convicts and practicing other \u201copaque proceedings\u201d \u2014 on April 21.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Badr court complex, where Abdelrazek\u2019s hearing will take place, has drawn increasing concern from international observers,\u201d International Christian Concern warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cCritics argue that its terrorism circuits operate with minimal transparency and routinely deny defendants basic legal protections.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coptic Solidarity Launches Australian Campaign to Free Egyptian Christian Imprisoned for Leaving Islam

\u2014 The Canberra Declaration (@TheCanDec) January 8, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Other prisoners have indeed faced extended pretrial detention and minimal access to attorneys.<\/p>\n

Egyptian law requires all citizens to display their religion on their legal documents \u2014 with only Islam, Christianity, and Judaism being officially recognized.<\/p>\n

Roughly 90 percent of citizens are Sunni Muslims, while 10 percent are Christians \u2014 with the vast majority of them belonging to the Coptic Orthodox Church, according to a 2023 report<\/a> from the U.S. State Department.<\/p>\n

International Christian Concern said that converting from Islam is not technically a crime in Egypt, but is still heavily discouraged.<\/p>\n

The ministry said that \u201cadvocates and family members\u201d of Abdelrazek \u201cdescribe the case as emblematic of the risks faced by religious converts in Egypt, where apostasy \u2014 leaving Islam for another faith \u2014 is not formally codified as a crime but is often prosecuted under broadly defined security charges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Open Doors noted<\/a> that although Egypt\u2019s Christian community has endured for millennia, believers in the nation face and a constant threat of persecution.<\/p>\n

Even when the government allows Christians to operate more freely, Muslim citizens impose their own pressures.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Egypt, most persecution happens at the community level, such as harassment of Christian women or mobs expelling Christians after alleged blasphemy. These kinds of incidents are a particular problem when Islamic extremists are present,\u201d the group noted.<\/p>\n

Christians in rural areas also face heightened targeting by their neighbors.<\/p>\n

But the persecution is indeed most severe when a former Muslim converts to Christianity.<\/p>\n
