Public Prosecutor Abdel Meguid Mahmoud returned a plot of land owned by the Shubra El-Kheima Church after the church’s bishop complained that a group of Salafis had occupied the land Tuesday and turned a building on the property into a mosque.
Prosecutor and police investigations proved the church’s legal ownership of the plot.
Mahmoud ordered the police to protect the land and prevent any illegal construction on it.
