"Mr President, yesterday as you so rightly said, the Coptic Christian minority in Cairo were victims of a wicked attack on their Cathedral, their main place of worship. My colleague from the German delegation proposes that this House condemn the persecution of Christians and I am most happy to present this request on behalf of the EFDD Group. The European Union makes a habit of claiming to be defenders of human rights and that is why we have a duty also to defend Christian minorities and their right to worship and express their freedom of belief in areas where they are a minority. We have a moral obligation to speak up for all persecuted minorities and to condemn violence by adopting a resolution accordingly, and I urge colleagues to support me."@en1
