Christian teacher Dimyana Obeid Abd Al-Nour has been fined 100,000 Egyptian pounds ($14,000) for defaming Islam and insulting Prophet Mohammed, which is prohibited in Article 44 of the Egyptian constitution.
The 24-year-old will now face compensation claims at a civil court following the conclusion of the criminal trial in Luxor on June 11.
Amnesty International says the case “bodes ill for others in Egypt facing trial on similar charges”.
