Expressing concerns regarding the urgent and escalating threats facing Coptic Christians.

This resolution states the House of Representatives' concerns about threats facing Coptic Christians in Egypt. It lists reports of arrests for blasphemy, abductions and forced marriages of Coptic women and girls, and attacks that often go unpunished. It acknowledges the United States-Egypt partnership and Egypt's role in fighting terrorism. It urges Egypt's government to give Coptic Christians the same rights as other citizens, to arrest and prosecute people who attack Christians, and to hold officials accountable who fail to enforce the law. The resolution does not create new laws or funding.
