Egyptian Prosecutors Say Insufficient Evidence In Case Of Attack On Christian Woman
According to AP, in Egypt prosecutors have dropped a case against several members of a Muslim mob allegedly involved last May in stripping a Christian woman of her clothes and parading her naked through the streets in a village in Minya province. The mob was reacting to a rumor that the woman's son had an affair with a Muslim woman. Prosecutors cited a lack of evidence, but another case growing out of the same violence, which also targeted Christian homes, continues in court.
