 For Immediate Release Hosting Gamal Mubarak Sends Wrong Signal for Peace, Human Rights, and
Democracy in the Middle East
The
American Coptic Union (ACU), human rights activists, supporters of
religious freedom, and peace-loving people all over the world are
disturbed by the White House’s invitation to President Mubarak and his
son for direct peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians. The
Mubarak regime has no interest in achieving genuine peace between the parties.
This
invitation sends a wrong message to the Copts. His son plans to inherit
his father’s position as if he were entitled to it. This invitation is
a slap to the face of those who believe in US position on promoting democracy in
Egypt. Their invitation is the real obstacle for peace in the Middle
East.
Mubarak,
his son, and other Egyptian officials are partners in the anti-Christian
movement in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Their crimes
against humanity have been reported to the United Nations Human Rights
Council in an ACU complaint sent to Geneva on August 18, 2010.
Hosting
Gamal Mubarak in the White House sends a clear message that the United
States endorses his plan to steal the election. Other candidates, such
as Dr. ElBaradei and Dr. Ayman Nour, should not be ignored and punished
because they believe in a free and democratic election.
Furthermore,
hosting Mubarak and his son sends a clear signal that the United States
supports the anti-Christian movement in which he and his son are active
members. In addition, this invitation demonstrates that the
United States supports
the religious persecution against the Coptic Christians of Egypt, who
face genocide under the Arab regime of Egypt.
They
are violating and abusing the human rights of almost all Egyptians,
including Muslims. The list of crimes they have committed are: •
Ethnic cleansing against hundreds of
thousands, displacing and forcing families to leave their homes, and
lands. And Confiscations of private properties. •
Massacring of Egyptian Copts, terror
attacks, and raids on Coptic Christian villages. •
Thousands killed in orchestrated attacks
all over Egypt. •
Kidnapping, raping, more than 500,000
women, and underage girls, forcing them to convert, and marry of those
who commit the crime against them. •
For millions of Coptic Christians to
convert to Islam, by force, and distorting their civil records. •
Killing worshipers inside the Churches.
Burning and destroying hundreds of worship places, and historical
monasteries. •
Protecting terror secret organization to
kill those Coptic Christians who convert back to
Christianity. •
Destruction of Egyptian Coptic historical
sites, such as Luxor, Akhmim, Al Giza area of
the Pyramids, and religious sites. •
Severe
economic strangulation. President Mubarak issued a presidential decree
to kill and exterminate all Pigs owned by Egyptian Christian
Copts and confiscate their Farms. As a
result about 3 million lost their income, and become unemployed. •
Ten
of thousands of Egyptian Copts victims illegally imprisoned with false
and fabricated, or no allegation at all, and without any trial, or Court
hearing. Mr.
President, the ACU requests the following:
2.
We are sure President Barack Obama is a real
Christian even though the media suggests otherwise. Therefore, we call
on the President to support the Coptic Christians’ legitimate and
justifiable case before the UN Human Rights Commission (OHCHR). XXX
