A 23 year old christian woman has been kidnapped in Egypt
Marina from Qena, Egypt has been kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam, no one seems willing to help her husband find her.
The kidnapped women: Marina was working at a salon, but was ready to leave after she discovered the owner, Hassan, had ties to an Islamic terrorist group. A woman named Bahar, masquerading as a friend, lured Marina with the promise of a job at a different salon. Marina was excited for the new opportunity, but had no idea Bahar was, in fact, teaming up with Hassan.
Marina’s husband, Halim, sat down with GCR and shared, “At about 12:45 p.m., Marina called and said that Bahar was waiting for her at the Metro. I asked Marina to meet her and bring her to our home as a guest.
“Marina went out to meet Bahar, but her mobile phone then switched off. After she didn’t return home, I tried to call her many times, but it was always switched off. I searched for her everywhere, but I couldn’t find her. That very evening, I filed a police report on my wife’s disappearance, but the report wasn’t filed until three days later. The police have done nothing to help me. I haven’t seen or heard from Marina since.”
However, the very day of her disappearance, a document was submitted for a new ID, claiming Marina now identified as Muslim. Halim is certain his wife was kidnapped and forced into conversion. For months, he’s searched for her and tried to find justice, but he’s only hit one brick wall after another.
“I asked the church to help me. The church said, ‘This is a difficult issue. We are praying, but we can’t do anything because many powerful people are involved.’ They told me Hassan is supported by important people.”
