to pressure and issued a missing person report after initially
refusing."

to Islam, while others said that she was kept in Alexandria against her
will."
-- "The systematic abduction and forced Islamization of
Coptic minor girls in Egypt is a frequent, dangerous and a rapidly
escalating phenomenon, The problem was brought to light by the Coptic
Pope Shenouda III as far back as December 17th, 1976, when he protested
during a conference held in Alexandria that 'there is pressure being
practiced to convert Coptic girls to embrace Islam and marry them under
terror to Muslim husbands' and demanded that the abducted girls be
brought back to their families."
