Christian Copt to Face Trial in Egypt Over Anti-Islam Video
(Reuters) Computer science graduate Alber Saber, 27, an Egyptian Copt, was arrested in Cairo on September 13 on suspicion of posting an anti-Islam video online that ignited Muslim protests around the world. He will stand trial on charges of insulting religions, the state news agency MENA said on Monday. He is accused of uploading sections of the film "Innocence of Muslims" and making another movie mocking all religions. Human rights lawyers say Saber was arrested without a prosecutor's warrant and that he was beaten during interrogation.
