Egypt’s activists cry foul over military investigation of Coptic killings

On Thursday, the military prosecutor said his office would be taking over the investigation into the causes of the violence, despite widespread testimony from survivors of the attack being published across local and international media singling out the military and state television for inciting sectarian violence after the military opened fire on protesters.

“It is despicable and disgusting what the military is doing now,” said Sarah Maguid, an Egyptian activist who took part in a candlelight vigil in downtown Cairo on Thursday evening. “We know the truth and the military wants to cover up the killing of innocent people because they want power.”

The sad fact, she said, was that “too many Egyptians believe the official line and this makes it hard to battle against their propaganda.”


Amen.
