Egyptian prosecutors are seeking the maximum penalty against Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek, a former Muslim who converted to Christianity, with his lawyers warning that he could face execution or 25 years in prison.
Abdelrazek was arrested in July 2025 and has remained in custody ever since. He faces accusations of contempt for Islam, inciting public disorder, spreading false information and joining a banned terrorist organization, the last of which carries the possibility of the death penalty.
He was previously arrested in 2023 over allegations that he published videos depicting the desecration of the Quran and served approximately one year in prison.
After his release, he fled to Russia seeking asylum but was deported after his application was rejected. He was detained again in 2024 before being released, then rearrested in April 2025 after publishing social media content about his conversion to Christianity and his efforts to have his religious status legally changed.
His lawyer, Said Fayez, reveals that Egyptian authorities have fabricated accusations involving a nonexistent organization and are prosecuting Abdelrazek because he refuses to "renounce Jesus."
His legal team has also accused prison authorities of torturing him, holding him in a crucifixion position and denying him necessary medical treatment despite his history of heart problems and having a coronary stent.
