Egyptian citizen Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek is being held in a high-security prison in Egypt and faces the possibility of execution. According to his defense attorney, Said Fayez, Egyptian prosecutors are demanding the maximum penalty, which could mean execution or 25 years in prison on charges of insulting Islam, spreading false information, and belonging to an unidentified prohibited terrorist organization.

Abdelrazek's fiancee, Sophia, who holds dual Egyptian and Australian citizenship, revealed in an interview with The Jerusalem Post that he suffered severe physical abuse while in state custody. She reported that Said was held bound to a wall with his arms spread while officers attempted to remove his cross tattoo and brought Islamic clerics to force him to renounce his Christian faith.

Human rights organization [Coptic Solidarity](https://guiame.com.br/colunistas/jarbas-aragao/ele-foi-crucificado-ex-islamico-nao-nega-jesus-e-corre-risco-de-execucao-no-egito.html) states that the terrorism charges manufactured by authorities are false. The group stresses that the criminal prosecution stems directly from Abdelrazek's refusal to deny Jesus Christ.
