A translation of the letter was published Aug. 15 by the religious freedom advocacy group ADF International. Another Christian convert, Nour Girgis, was also arrested by authorities for his participation in the TV program. The following month, Abdo was placed in solitary confinement after a fellow inmate"reported him for copying Bible verses on scraps of paper" and his family was denied visitation, prompting him to declare a hunger strike for his prolonged imprisonment.
Zorzi said the detainment of the two Christian converts exposed the abuse of Egyptian law"to punish those with minority views and beliefs" and the governments around the world are failing to uphold freedom of religion and speech which allows"rampant criminalization of social media posts and religious practice to go unchecked."
