Philadelphia: February 4, 2011. (PCP) Dr. Nazir S Bhatti, Chief of Pakistan Christian Congress PCC urged US administration to consider due participation of Coptic Christian in new transitional power structure of Egypt. “It is surprising that Coptic Christian being 15% of population of Egypt are entirely forgotten in new power sharing formula” said Dr. Bhatti The Coptic Christians are a persecuted community and face violence by extremists Muslims on religion grounds and its very important that when Egypt is shaping up for new democratic era Coptic Christian’s participation can shape Egypt as real democratic state said Nazir Bhatti PCC Chief waned that any transitional council formed comprising of Egyptian military generals shall fall short to comply with democratic norms but a council in participation with political parties and Coptic Christians shall be a way forward to true spirit of democracy. It will be very important to bring Muslim Brotherhood in mainstream democratic process and given participation in transitional team to lineout legal framework and responsibilities of every political and religious group in Egypt. Nazir Bhatti said “Pakistani Christians have grave concerns for Coptic Christians and rising violence against them on hands of radical Muslims and now its time to protect their rights of religious freedom through setting their constitutional equal rights. Meanwhile, Voice of Copts, a representative body of Coptic Christians Diaspora in USA, also having office in Italy have given an international call to arrest Mubarak. Dr. Ashraf Ramelah, President of Voice of Copts have issues a press statement saying that in light of the information reaching our office that the Egyptian regime has escalated violence against demonstrators and foreigner journalists. Voice of the Copts strongly condemns the use of weapons by regime police and Special Forces in plain clothes who are riding horses and camels to control the crowds in El- Tahrir square. The failing dictator and his regime have shown their true neo- Nazi face as he uses violence against his own people to protect his own interests. After thirty years under the rule of an oppressive fascist regime the demonstrators which are now asking for their freedom in the streets must have the support of the entire free world. The safety of the Egyptian people as well as the historic treasure of ancient Egypt which have now been vandalized by the hand of the Mubarak regime is the responsibility of the entire free world. Voice of the Copts demands an international coalition to intervene immediately to protect Egyptian civilians and to arrest Mubarak along with his neo-Nazi regime members and bring them to international criminal court. Furthermore, we ask the entire world leaders to close all Egyptian diplomatic offices in their countries because the actual Egyptian embassies personnel are part of Mubarak's neo-Nazi regime, and they are not representative of the Egyptian people.
