Mass death sentences in Egypt


Egypt court sentences 529 Muslim Brotherhood supporters to death



The Upper Egypt court has issued a death penalty to 529 supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood on charges of murder and inciting violence.

The sentence will have to be ratified by Egypt’s Grand Mufti before it can be carried out.

The Morsi supporters are charged with the murder of a deputy commander of the Matay district police station during the riots that followed the dispersal of the mass Rabaa sit-in last August. At least 632 people were killed during the dispersal, including eight police officers, according to government figures.
