Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek, an Egyptian Christian convert from Islam, is on trial in Cairo on multiple charges including establishing an illegal group and promoting beliefs harmful to national unity.
His crime: converting to Christianity and attempting to change his religious designation on government identity documents.
He has been held without due process, tortured, and suspended in a "crucifixion" position.
International human rights groups are calling for his release. The Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies has urged Australia to grant him a humanitarian visa, as his fiancée is an Australian citizen.
He previously sought asylum in Russia but was deported back to Egypt in 2024, violating the principle of non-refoulement.
Egypt ranks 42nd on Open Doors' World Watch List of countries where it is hardest to be a Christian. Abdelrazek's case is a stark reminder that religious freedom is not universal.
He faces a terrorist court known for opaqueness and lack of due process. Pray for his safety, for his legal team, and for international pressure to secure his release.
The body of Christ cannot remain silent while one of its own is crucified for his faith.
