Egyptian Court orders imprisoned Christian activist to Mental Hospital

CAIRO, EGYPT (Worthy News)– An Egyptian Military Court ordered that an imprisoned Christian activist be admitted to a mental health hospital to determine whether he’s responsible for his actions.

Michael Nabil Sanad was sent to Abbasiya Hospital in Cairo, a facility that specializes in treating seriously ill psychiatric patients.

Writer William Weesa said this was very dangerous because “there are many people who were admitted to these hospitals by the security services, who were quite healthy when they went in, but came out as a devastated human beings.”

Weesa asked that this “farce perpetrated against a prisoner of conscience” be stopped.
