Naguib Sawiris
Egyptian charged with blasphemy over tweeted image of Mickey, Minnie Mouse
Coptic Christian Naguib Sawiris will stand trial this month for sharing an image of an ostensibly Muslim Mickey and Minnie Mouse in the run-up to Egyptian elections. The idea being that if Islamists won the elections, even the two cartoon icons would have to follow conservative Muslim practices. He’s accused of blasphemy.
