"It is not without regret that we are hearing the news currently reaching us of the persecution of Christian communities in Egypt and Syria. From Egypt, the reports are mainly about the persecution of members of the Coptic Church. Apart from the high number of believers who have already left the country, there are reports of summary judgments being handed down by military tribunals, which offer no guarantees of a defence or an independent trial. In addition, at least 25Â Egyptians were killed and more than 300Â injured in a peaceful religious demonstration which took place in the north of Cairo.
In Syria, for its part, religious persecution has formed part of the severe repression that has been making itself felt, and which has led to a veritable policy of massacring opponents of the regime over the past few months. In view of this, Parliament unreservedly condemns religious persecution, and expresses its solidarity with all the current victims of such acts. I therefore voted in favour."@en1
