Middle Eastern Martyrdom with Mariam Wahba

The Bulletin welcomes Mariam Wahba for a conversation with Mike Cosper about Coptic Christian martyrdom in the modern world.

Mike Cosper sits down with Mariam Wahba, research analyst and Coptic Christian, at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies for a sobering, sacred conversation about the 21 Christians martyred on a beach in Libya in 2015 and how their memory can shape both global politics and our everyday lives.
