The Egyptian police arrested Mrs. Raheal Henen Mussa formally known as Samr Mohamed Hansen. Raheal, a formal Muslim, was converted to Christianity and was married three years ago to a Christian man named Sarwat George Ryiad.
Mrs. Ryiad was arrested Tuesday 04/13/09 on her way home from work. Raheal worked in a hair dressing salon in Cairo.
The Egyptian police transfered her to an internal secret service police and she is still in custody.
This is not the first time that an Islam to Christian convert has been arrested and humiliated in Egypt . Last December the Voice of the Copts had reported the story of a woman named Martha who was arrested at the Cairo airport while attempting to flee Egypt. http://voiceofthecopts.org/en/articles/free_martha.html
Voice of the Copts is again demanding that the Egyptian government respect the freedom of faith and basic human rights, along with the immediate release of Mrs. Mussa.
