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.
