"Mr President, I call for us to take up the cause of an Egyptian woman, Shadia Nagui Ibrahim. This woman was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment because, when she married, she allegedly stated untruthfully that she was a Christian. In fact, she stated the truth, because she is a Christian. She belongs to the Coptic Church and was unaware of the fact that her father, also a Coptic Christian, had converted to Islam for a time, and then returned to the Coptic faith. Under Egyptian law, Shadia Nagui Ibrahim is a Muslim, because her father was once a Muslim. A person’s faith cannot be determined by the position of national or legal authorities. It is a matter of personal conviction. If Egypt wishes to be deemed a civilised country, it must amend its intolerant anti-Christian legislation."@en1
