Amnesty International says security forces did not protect Egypt’s Christian minority
 
Amnesty International said on Wednesday that Egyptian security services systematically failed to protect Egypt's Christian minority in the wake of unrest in the country following pro-Morsi demonstrations in August.        

The human rights group said in a detailed report that security services failed to prevent a wave of unprecedented attacks on churches, schools and charity buildings.              

"In light of previous attacks, particularly since Morsi's ousting on the 3rd of July, a counterattack against Coptic Christians should have been anticipated; however, security forces failed to prevent attacks or intervene to put an end to the violence," said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Amnesty International's deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa.
