A Canadian Coptic Christian says he fears for his life over accusations he had a hand in an anti-Islamic film posted online.
Egypt has issued an arrest warrant for Nader Fawzy, alleging he was involved in "Innocence of Muslims". A warrant is out for another Canadian too.
Fawzy denies any connection to the low budget flick, but says he doesn't feel safe now & worries someone will try to kill him or his 2 daughters.
The self-described Coptic activist has spoken out against Egypt's treatment of Coptic Christians.
Fawzy said he wasn't happy that the Canadian government just told him to keep quiet.
Speaking with his MP, Liberal Jim Karygiannis at his side, Fawzy asked for protection.
