## Arrested after attempting to update identity documents

Egyptian Christian Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek, 30, faces a potential death sentence or 25 years in prison in Cairo. Police arrested Abdelrazek in Cairo's Matariya neighborhood on July 15, 2025, shortly after he sought to change his official identity papers to reflect his Christian faith.

Egyptian prosecutors are seeking the maximum penalty in the trial. According to Washington-based advocacy group Coptic Solidarity, the formal charges against Abdelrazek include membership in an outlawed terrorist group, contempt for Islam, spreading false information, and stirring public disorder.

Defense attorney Said Fayez stated following a November 3 hearing that the alleged terrorist group does not exist. Fayez declared that the real reason his client is on trial is his refusal to renounce Jesus Christ.
