Appeal for release of Egyptian Christians abducted in LibyaChristian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) is calling for the release of six Egyptian Christians abducted in Libya last week. All six of the men are from the village of Alharja South in Suhag, Egypt, and were in Libya to work. It is reported by Copts United that the kidnappers are demanding 15,000 Libyan dinars (around £2,600) per captive for their release. CSW's Founder President Mervyn Thomas said that the kidnappings were the "latest brutality" to be committed against Egyptian Christians in Libya. "We urge the Libyan and Egyptian authorities to intervene swiftly to secure the release of these six men and all those held with them.
