For seventh day in a row, Copts continue a protest for right to second marriage at Abbassiya Cathedral, Cairo. Protesters shout: "Civil [State]! Nationalistic!", demanding effectuation of a Regulation of 1938 which makes divorce easier - and legal - for Egypt's Copts. Applying regulation, says protesters, would not force Copts change faith to get divorce. Meanwhile, some say protests should stop given demands are personal and private.
