Awqaf Minister Mohamed Mokhtar Gomaa has spoken against
building of places of worship on illegally-seized lands.
This is totally because it is like building on state-owned property, thus
violating law, Gomaa said in a statement Sunday.
He cited small mosques that had been built in the vicinity of waterways or
railways.
The minister praised government efforts to regulate the building process in
general and places of worship in particular.
