Subject: Please cosponsor H. RES 49-Expressing Support for Coptic Christians and Religious Liberty in Egypt

Message:

I am writing to ask that you cosponsor H. RES 49 - Expressing Support for Coptic Christians and Religious Liberty in Egypt. This critical resolution was introduced by Rep. French Hill (R-AK) on January 16, 2019 with original lead cosponsor Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) and an additional 11 other cosponsors. Strong bi-partisan support of the resolution is reflective of the urgency of the situation for Egypt's Copts who have been suffering mounting violent attacks, illegal closure of their churches, and increased systematic and systemic discrimination by the Egyptian government under el-Sisi's administration. Since his election as president, Mr. el-Sisi has pursued increasingly authoritarian measures to consolidate his power, silencing all political dissent, controlling the media, imprisoning human rights activists, shuttering women's rights groups, hunting LGBTQ individuals, and failing to protect religious minorities, much less end the systematic and systemic discrimination to make them equal citizens. Furthermore, Copts have been subjected to more attacks and church closures during el-Sisi's rule than even under Mubarak. This resolution calls on Egypt's government to: 1) Protect Copts by ending the culture of impunity for those who attack them and their properties; 2) End the arbitrary closure of Coptic churches, allow construction of new churches, and officially recognized existing churches as promised in Egyptian law 80 passed in 2016; 3) Enact reforms for Copts to achieve equality and full religious freedom. As an individual deeply concerned with the basic human rights of Egypt's indigenous Christians and other persecuted minorities, I ask that you cosponsor H. RES. 49 and support it when brought to a vote.
