An Egyptian Christian journalist, Bishoy Boulous Armia, who was imprisoned and tortured for converting from Islam to Christianity, has reportedly gone on a hunger strike in prison.

Bishoy Boulous Armia, who was known as Mohammed Hegazy, is a journalist who has reportedly been investigating Islamist attacks on the Egyptian Christian Community. He was arrested, tortured and sentenced to five years in prison in July, allegedly accused of causing "sectarian strife" i.e. violence between different sects of one particular mode of religion within a nation.
