Sectarian violence has increased since the 70s, especially against Christians, where offenders are rarely held accountable and adequate investigations are not carried out. Churches, Jewish temples and tombs are frequently attacked. Also Hate speech is used against different religious minorities and such acts are not stopped or punished. Based on the above we urge the Egyptian state to: Protect the existence of religious minorities in the constitution and ensure the latter enjoy full rights to practice their religion and belief. Review existing legislation to eliminate laws that.discriminate against or incite hatred against religious minorities. Take measures necessary for the protection of religious minorities against discrimination and hold those who infringe on the right to religion and belief accountable.
