Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I would be more than glad to leave all of what I have. I sent a very informative video to the honourable clerk of the committee and a panel of the Hudson Institute. It's a very new panel of experts on the situation in Egypt, and the Copts in particular.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I can give you all my time and my support.

The future will be bleak for the Copts and secularists and women. We don't know where we're going. There should be international monitori

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I didn't cover that because of the limitation of time, but all the commissions founded by this regime did not continue their investigations, and when they did an investigation, they did not take the second step of starting a prosecution. They were fake, sham investigations, all o

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The persecution of the Coptic Christians in Egypt is a complicated matter.
