Mr. President,
We are the Egyptians whom are living in Europe and because we strongly believe in the 30th of June Revolution, we managed to support in several occasions the great event remarkably. The History will always remember our efforts especially with the European Union.
A) We have had seven important delegations in the European Parliament to change the Idea from Coup to Revolution.
B) We have participated twice in the United Nations assembly ( Geneva ) trying to prove Muslim Brotherhood a Terrorist group.
C) We held nine international conferences in partnership with German International Committee to sustain 30th of June revolution that was carried out by the Egyptians and you strongly believed in what the nation want so you have given your full support to the Nation well.
In spite of our continuous support for our beloved Egypt, but as we Egyptian Christians still don’t feel safe, not only from the terrorist group ( Muslim brotherhood ) but also the Police authorities.
For example:
Copts are still facing force displacement & force reconciliations with the acknowledgment of the security entities. Coptic young girls are still getting kidnaped & forced to convert to Islam, not only young girls but also old men are facing the same destiny as in Nagaa Hamady, they became the first source of gangs that kidnapped till now 72 Copts who paid about 8 million pounds to those groups and all these actions were blessed by the security police.
Mr. President: when you came in power, we felt you are the hero that will come to take us from despair to victory; we are really honored and proud that Egypt has exceptional man like you.
We would love to cooperate with you wherever the field and at any level for the best of our Own Country (Egypt).
Your People, your nation Egyptian Christian have a need from you Mr. President wishing for help to stop their pain and persecution, below are suggestions that need you to give an eye on:
1- Work only with Constitution and law without discrimination under any circumstances and cancel all local councils.
2- Coptic file to be directly referred to the president or prime minster and not to police officers.
3- A fair and transparent investigations to the police officers who were implicated or colluded in cases of kidnapping of Copts with the application of the appropriate Penalty and punishment according to the Law.
4- Speed up court hearing and conclusion in cases of infringement on churches properties, monasteries, charities and Coptic properties.
5- Speed up with reconstruction to the demolished or burned churches at the governorate expense to emphasize the responsibility and commitment.
6- The Governorate obligatory to compensate the Victims’ family, injured and affected with appropriate compensation taking into account the non-discrimination in the values since 25thJanuary 2011 Revolution.
7- Review the Educational curriculum and remove all expressions of hate and discrimination, keep an eye on teachers who spread hate.
8- Supporting moderate media and take legal action against discriminating media.

10- Revise the religious discourse and remove everything that supports hatred, violence, discrimination and speed to take legal action towards those whom are found guilty of those crimes.
11- Improve the efficiency of the security forces to face the events likely to occur, especially what’s considered sectarian sedition and dealing with transparency case of occurrence of such events.
12- The return of those who have been forcibly displaced and compensate them for any material and moral damage, while ensuring their protection by the State.
13- Speedy up licensing for churches that already exist without license to reconcile their legal status.
14- Return advice and guidance sessions under the Sponsorship of human rights organization, not the security authorities.
15- Abolition of the law contempt of religion, which has become a sword on the necks of the Copts and the launch of an amnesty on all whom judged with this Law.
16- Recharge to the trails that were politically against Law, such verdicts to George Paromy and Alaa Rushdie as an example.
