CAIRO: Coptic lawyer Naguib Gobrail filed a case against the minister of information accusing him of fueling sectarian violence over how the state TV reported the events of the Coptic Christian peaceful protest on Sunday that left at least 25 dead and hundreds injured after the armed forces guarding the building opened fire and ran over protesters with armored vehicles. Gobrail said in a statement that he holds minister Osama Haikel “personally responsible for the false reports that the state TV aired, which agitated people to leave their homes and attack Copts” on the streets in downtown Cairo on Sunday. “What the state TV aired incites sectarian violence and incites people against Coptic Christians and puts social peace in danger,” read the statement. State TV, and especially channel 1, aired reports saying that “armed” Copts attacked military police guarding the building and read a plea from the military calling on people to come out and “protect them.” Many rights activists and thinkers condemned state TV strongly for the airing of false news that put people's lives in danger.
