The IRF Community, Coptic Solidarity, and Jubilee Campaign circulated a letter highlighting deep concern over the Egyptian government’s mistreatment of Baby Shenouda and his adoptive Coptic parents. The letter condemns Shenouda’s forced removal from his family, his name change, and his coerced religious conversion, actions that violated both Egyptian and international human rights commitments. While Shenouda has been temporarily returned to his adoptive parents, the letter urges the U.S. to pressure Egypt to make this arrangement permanent, grant full adoption rights, and prevent further trauma to the child. It also emphasizes the broader systemic discrimination against Copts and religious minorities in Egypt, calling for U.S. advocacy to ensure equality and religious freedom.
