The fiancée of an Egyptian man who is facing trial over converting to Christianity has issued an urgent appeal for journalists to “break the silence” over what she describes as “state-sanctioned religious persecution”.

He is officially recorded as an international religious prisoner of conscience by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).
