While Libya has no significant religious minority, hundreds of thousands of Egyptians live and work in the country, where Christian proselytizing is illegal – and where one can be accused of proselytizing simply for possessing a Bible.

利比亚没有象征性的宗教少数派，数十万埃及人在利比亚生活和工作，在这里，宣传基督教是非法的——只要拥有圣经，就可能因传教而被告上法庭。但穆斯林兄弟会控制的埃及政府似乎并不热衷于保护利比亚的基督徒埃及公民；只是心不在焉地呼吁释放遭羁押公民。
