The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) condemned the kidnapping of seven Egyptian soldiers in Sinai, describing this act as a serious crime against the Egyptian people and their armed forces. ISESCO called on the parties having abducted these soldiers to release them and ensure their safety, adding that this act is prohibited by Islam as it contributes to spreading mischief and corruption on earth and terrifying safe people. ISESCO also expressed its confidence in the measures taken by the Egyptian government to protect citizens and safeguard the inviolability of the country.
