"Mr President, Commissioner, I strongly support all the steps being taken by the High Representative to help Egypt achieve democracy and prosperity without further bloodshed. However, this does not mean that we should turn a blind eye to the growing violence being committed against Coptic Christians by radical Muslims. I am in contact with European citizens and Czechs who are helping the Copts, but in doing so they are literally risking their lives. The European Union must openly ask the Egyptian Army to set an example by punishing those who persecute Christians. At the same time, the European Union should actively help those Copts who are at risk to temporarily relocate to a safe country.
I would like to ask you to propose that the Council initiate temporary protection measures under Directive 2001/55/EC, in order to save the lives of Copts until Egypt is a safer homeland for them. Commissioner, can you do this?"@en1
