Four foreign Christians arrested in Benghazi over a month ago for proselytizing will be shortly released, an official announced.
The commanding officer of the Office of Preventative Security, Abdul Salam Barghathi, said a South African woman, a man with duel American-Swedish nationality, an Egyptian and a South Korean, will be deported upon release.
“To keep good diplomatic relations, they are going to be allowed to go back to their countries,” he said, declining to give a date. They were arrested because the distribution of Christian literature is a “threat to homeland security,” he said.
48 Egyptian Copt Christians were arrested on March 1 accused of evangelism. One person died in custody, ultimately souring the situation. Protests went forth in Cairo, whilst Islamists backlashed by burning the Coptic Church in Benghazi on March 14.
Seizing 55,000 Christian pamphlets and books along with a photocopying machine, which is now being used by the Preventative Security, Barghathi justified the arrests with crime falling under the previous regime. “We still work under Gaddafi law,” he said.
