Arab West Report Egyptian press summaries and media research for dialogue

'Abd al-Masīh Basīt, priest of the Virgin Mary Church in Musturud, asserts that Wafā’ Constantine declared herself Christian and that returning to her home would have threatened her life and stirred up sectarian tensions.

She lives in a safe place affiliated to a monastery. Security forces are aware of her location for everything was done under their supervision. 

He points out the reason that Kāmīliyā chose to stay in a house, related to a church, for a period of time was due to her poor psychological condition. He stresses that the police are also aware of where she is.

Basīt denies the claims that Christians who convert to Islam are imprisoned in secret places inside churches and monasteries.
