Egyptian security officers tied Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek to a wall in the shape of a cross, tried to strip the cross tattoo from his skin, and sent Muslim clerics to his cell to bring him back to Islam. He refused. Now the Egyptian state is asking a terrorism court for the maximum penalty, death or 25 years in prison, for a 30-year-old man whose crime, his lawyers say, is his refusal to renounce Jesus. His fiancée, Sophia, described his treatment in custody to The Jerusalem Post in a single sentence: “They had him crucified the whole time he was there.”
