A statement issued from the public prosecutor’s office said the assistant public prosecutor and Deputy Assistant Foreign Minister for Arab Maghreb Affairs, Dr. Yousif el-Sharkawi, held a meeting with Fr. Timothy Bishara Adly, the priest of Tripoli’s Coptic Church, and a number of Coptic representatives to discuss their problems and affairs.

The statement added there are four Copts accused of proselytization, and those detained were arrest in Benghazi where a public lawyer referred to investigations to the public prosecutor.

It noted the investigations were still being conducted, and the Libyan judicial authorities have given it priority due to its importance and sensitivity.
