Cairo: Refaat and Ibrahim Fawzy Abdo, Christian
brothers who were falsely accused of murdering a Muslim
in Mallawi, Upper Egypt in May 2008, were re-arrested on
May 20, 2009 for "security reasons" by the Minya State
Security Services, according to reports.
The brothers had earlier been released on bail on May 3.
According to their lawyer, their re-arrest is part of an
intimidation campaign against Egyptian Christians. The
believers have reportedly been unable to see their wives
and children and have suffered mistreatment, including
time in solitary confinement and severe beatings in
which their teeth were broken.
