Abba Demian, Bishop of Germany, represented the Coptic church assuring that Copts are currently suffering from the extremist groups and not the government.
Father Tomas, member of the Coptic delegation, said that St. Maurice, the Theban Legion, and St. Verena introduced Christianity to Switzerland and were martyred there.
