The Egyptian Copts against the Coup Movement revealed details of a meeting between Pope Tawadros and EU's Catherine Ashton in which the Coptic Pope warned the EU that a return of the Muslim Brotherhood to power would lead to his imprisonment.

Mina Magdy, an activist in the "Copts against the Coup Movement", said in a Facebook post that Pope Tawadros told Ashton: "The Muslim Brotherhood will imprison me on charges of supporting the coup if they come back to power, and the EU should protect the gains of Coptic Christians in Egypt."
