General bishop of Minya Bishop Makarios expressed his oppression from the governor of Minya, Major General Tariq Nasr’s comments, as he has denied the incident of stripping an elderly Christian lady from her clothes in El-Karam village, pointing out that the governor shouldn’t prejudge the investigation.
His Eminence continued, “Of course it wasn’t two balls of fire that caused the problem, he said,300 men with different type of weapons attacked seven houses and burned five of them and looted these properties, losses estimated at more than 350 thousand pounds, and instead of facing the problem he mislead people?! this is not good”.
He asked denounced for the benefit of the old lady to defame herself, saying “, Is it from our interest as Christians to pretend that the Christian woman was stripped from her clothes? The attackers shouted in the street and throw her to each other until someone came to cover her and save her, I think it is better to confront the problems instead of misleading “.
