Twenty five year old Mohammed Ahmed Higazi (L), and his pregnant wife Zeinab, 23, pose with a poster of Jesus Christ 02 August 2007 in their home in a Cairo. Higazi who converted from Islam to Christianity has launched a bid to have the change recognised officially in what is believed to be the first such case, he told AFP today.
