Urgent Prayer Request!

Hello All!

The following is a facebook status update from my dear friend Yousra Wafa. This is regarding her sister who is Egyptian, but works in Saudi Arabia. Please keep her in your prayers for a miracle! Thanks! Please share and pass on to anyone who would pray for her!

Love,
Hannah

Hello all!

Naglaa Wafa, my sister and an Egyptian residing in Saudi Arabia, has been charged with violating laws pertaining to the operation of her business and sentenced to 5 years in prison and 500 lashes, after being detained for about two and a half years.

But Naglaa, from the start, was denied the right to defend herself against the charges and was not allowed to hire an attorny. The court has no proof that Naglaa committed those violations, since there never were any investigations, evidence or trials. The Egyptian embassy didn't try to protect her. Why? Naglaa is breaking her silence and says that a Saudi Arabian princess, a business partner and former friend of Naglaa, set Naglaa up and warned her not to let a word out. But Naglaa is taking the chance, after her failed attempts, over the past 3 years, to deal with the allegation diplomatically, and decided to take the case public.

She endured the pain of 300 lashes and will have to endure the pain of another 200 starting next week if we don't take action. She took a chance on us, the public, to save her from the cruelty of the sentence. We can't fail her. After all, she is risking everything. Please share and help if you can!

Yousra

Thanks everyone for praying! This is very dear to my heart
