A young Coptic woman in a suburb of Cairo disappeared, on 5 June, from an area where Muslim attacks against Christians have surged.
Suzan Ashraf Rawy, 22, left for work by foot from her home in Al Khosous, but never arrived at the Coptic Orthodox church where she is employed. ‘When she did not return home that evening, her mother called the church’, an area Christian leader said. ‘That is when she discovered Suzan did not arrive at the church in the morning. It is expected that she has been abducted.’
The alleged abduction would be the third kidnapping in the area of Al Khosous, a predominantly Christian town on the outskirts of Cairo, since the accidental shooting of a Muslim on 30 May.
