Malawi Diocese Demands Abu Fana Wall To Be Four Meters High

The Malawi Diocese sent an official letter to the Menya governor in which it called for increasing the height of the wall that is supposed to be built around Abu Fana Monastery to not less than four meters. The governor replied that the law stipulates that walls should not be higher than two meters.
Diocese Undersecretary Paula Anwar said the letter was sent two days ago to the Malawi City Council to Dr. Ahmed Diaa Eddin. It was sent in response to a letter received by the church from the city council to the effect that the height of the wall should only be 1.5 meters.
“The monastery lies in a quicksand area, so that there should be a high wall to protect the priests,” he said.
Exclusives to al-Masry al-Youm, Menya Governor Ahmed Diaa Eddin said the law is clear and stipulates that walls should not be higher than two meters. The Malawi diocese’s demand is subject to laws and engineering bylaws relating to bases.
On the other hand, Malawi diocese lawyer Ihab Ramzy apologized to Father Demetrious for not continuing in the monastery’s case. Ramzy said: “As there is a committee responsible for reconciliation between the Church and the Bedouins, I decided to give up the case.”
The Menya Misdemeanor Court will consider renewing the imprisonment of 15 defendants in the last May 31 clashes. The defendants include 13 Muslims who were accused of attacking the monastery, harming farmlands and carrying unlicensed arms. Two Copts were accused of killing Khalil Mohamed Ibrahim Abu Qureen.
