Ayman Nabil Labib, a 17-year-old Coptic Christian student, was
murdered by Muslim classmates after refusing to remove a crucifix he was
wearing, the Assyrian International News Agency is reporting.
The murder, which took place on October 16 in the central Egyptian town
of Mallawi, took place after a teacher asked Labib to cover up a
tattooed cross on his wrist. Labib refused, instead uncovering a cross
necklace.
“The teacher nearly choked my son, and some Muslim students joined in the beating,” said Labib’s father.
“They beat my son so much in the classroom that he fled to the lavatory
on the ground floor, but they followed him and continued their assault,”
the victim’s mother added. “When one of the supervisors took him to his
room, Ayman was still breathing. The ambulance transported him from
there dead, one hour later.”
