Qena

Dozens of supporters of ousted president, Muhammad Morsi (Mursī) from Islamic movements in Naga' Hammādi formed a human shield around the Virgin Mary Church during the early hours of dawn on August 6. They gathered to stand firm against any attempts to storm the church after clashes between participants of the march and some residents (Jūsif Abū al-Wafā, al-Yawm al-Sābi', Aug. 6). Read original text in Arabic.
