‘They had him crucified’: Christian convert faces torture, execution in Egypt for leaving Islam
“He was tortured. They attempted to remove his cross tattoo and brought him Islamic religious figures. They had him crucified the whole time he was there," his fiancee, Sophia told the 'Post.'
Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek, an Egyptian convert to Christianity, faces potential execution after being arrested in July 2025. His fiancée, Australian-Egyptian citizen Sophia, spoke to The Jerusalem Post about his suffering at the hands of Egyptian authorities. They claim he was tortured, forced to wear a cross tattoo, and had his crucified while in custody.
Abdelrazek is accused of numerous crimes, including contempt for Islam, inciting public disorder, disseminating false information, and joining a non-existent terrorist group. His lawyer asserts that these charges are purely fictitious and stem solely from his refusal to renounce Jesus. Authorities have also detained at least 180 other Christians on similar charges. Sophia and Abdelrazek first met on social media and married in 2021.
