Coptic Solidarity Hosts Third Annual Modern Coptic Martyrs Remembrance Day on October 3
By Coptic Solidarity – For Immediate Release (Washington, DC) September 26, 2018 Coptic Solidarity encourages everyone to join on October 3, at the US Capitol Visitor Center, Room 200, from 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM for the 3rd Annual Modern Coptic Martyrs Remembrance Day. This event commemorates and seeks justice for the many modern Coptic martyrs who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their faith. The event will be hosted near the 7th Anniversary of the Maspero Massacre in which the Egyptian army murdered 27 Copts and injured 327 who were peacefully protesting the government’s closure of a church in Aswan. The government has yet to take responsibility for this brutal attack in which soldiers used live ammunition without warning
