Remember
this chilling picture? Justice has caught up with seven members of the ISIS
terror group responsible for the beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians in Libya
in February 2015. (see Vol 18 Qtr 3). An
Egyptian court on 16th September sentenced them to death, three of
them in absentia. Thirteen
others are on trial in the same case, and rulings for them are scheduled to be
delivered on Nov. 25. During the
two-year anniversary of the beheadings earlier in the year, a widow of one of
the martyrs told the International Christian Concern that she was proud of his
husband for having kept the faith. “He
has lifted our heads up and honoured us and all the Christians." Similarly the children of the martyrs praised
the courage their fathers showed the world by refusing to renounce their faith,
even in the face of certain death. For details, see http://www.christianpost.com/news/egypt-sentences-isis-killers-to-death-for-beheading-of-21-coptic-christians-in-libya-199575/
