The Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church under the leadership of Pope Shenouda III met
with seventy Bishops, on Monday October 10, 2011 in the Papal residence, Cairo, Egypt to discuss the events of the prior day
in front of Maspiro where 24 of our beloved children were killed and at least 200 injured.
Coptic Christians feel that their problems are always being repeated without accountability
and without the due justice of the law.Eyewitnesses & countless photographs and videos recount how the Egyptian Military
used armored vehicles to mow down peaceful protesters.
WE PLEA to the President, and Congress, to push for a full investigation,to bring the perpetrators
to justice in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and to cut off military aid until FULL COMPLIANCE.
