The 2016 Minya pogrom was a pogrom in a village in Minya Governorate, Egypt, by a Muslim mob against the Coptic community. The pogrom was instigated by a rumor that a Christian man and a Muslim woman were in a relationship. The mob ransacked and torched seven Christian homes. The mother of the Christian man was stripped naked and paraded through the village to humiliate her.[1]
