BREAKING: Emergency Call for Prayers for an Egyptian Christian who has been imprisoned for preaching Jesus Christ - David Harris Jr

Coptic Christian apologist Dr. Augustinos Samaan

BREAKING: Coptic Christian apologist Dr. Augustinos Samaan reportedly faces severe abuse and a five-year sentence of hard labor in an Egyptian prison!

Dr. Augustinos Samaan, a prominent Egyptian Coptic Christian preacher and religious scholar known for his YouTube ministry comparing faiths, was taken into custody without warning at 1:30 a.m.

According to reports from human rights advocates, Dr. Samaan was subjected to brutal prison conditions, including torture, cigarette burns, severe neglect, and starvation behind closed doors while authorities pressured him to renounce his faith.

For his Christian outreach and public ministry, Egyptian courts sentenced Dr. Samaan to five years of hard labor, leading to international outcry from human rights organizations monitoring Coptic Christian persecution in the region.

Tragically, just three months into his imprisonment, his beloved mother passed away from grief and medical complications—with authorities denying Dr. Samaan the chance to attend her funeral or lay her to rest.

With Egyptian courts recently rejecting his first legal appeal, Christians and human rights advocates around the world are raising their voices to demand accountability, justice, and his immediate release!

Please keep him and his family in your prayers.
