Egypt: client found
WWM
After weeks of judicial runaround, Egyptian lawyer Karam Ghobrial managed to find and visit his client, Egypt’s most publicly-known Christian convert Mohammed Hegazy, in Cairo’s Tora Prison on 26 January.
Hegazy, who in 2007 was the first Egyptian Muslim to fight a legal case to change his religious identity to Christian, is appealing against a conviction by a lower Egyptian court on three misdemeanour charges, all linked to his arrest in the city of Minya, 135 miles south of Cairo, in December 2013.
