Egypt: social media upset
World Watch Monitor
Two Coptic Christians in a village in Minya, Upper Egypt faced charges of inciting sectarian strife and insulting Islamic leaders in early September.
Comments from one of the men on social media, shared by the other, caused some Muslims in their village to riot. Bassem Abdel-Malak Fahim, 25, from the village of Ezbat El-Sheikh Nageim, first posted the comments on Facebook in the wake of the Minya bus attack in May, when 28 Copts were killed.
