Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss the prolonged detention of Nour Girgis and Abdulbaqi Saeed Abdo in Egypt. Arrested for supporting Christian converts, the men face allegations of terrorism, harsh conditions, and limited legal counsel. We explore the international human rights violations at play and calls for their immediate release.
In the second segment of the show, we explore how global advocacy groups challenge Egypt’s treatment of religious minorities. The conversation highlights international legal obligations and the urgent need to address hostility toward religious freedoms.
About the Show: Faith and Politics is a show dedicated to discussing issues surrounding the intersection of Church, State and politics and the examination of whether you are allowing your faith to shape your politics or your politics starting to shape your faith. What do you do when God and government come face to face?
