BREAKING: Egypt court upholds death sentences for 12 Morsi supporters The death sentences come along with 10 life in prison sentences and one acquittal
A Giza court has confirmed the death sentences of 12 supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohamed Morsi Wednesday. The sentences have been handed down on charges of killing Major General Nabil Farrag, when demonstrators stormed a police station in Kerdasa following the dispersal of sit-ins at Rabaa Al-Adawiya and Nahda in August, 2013. In addition to the 12 death sentences, the court also sentenced 10 defendants to life in prison and acquitted one other on the same charges. In March, southern Egypt's Minya court sentenced 529 of Morsi supporters to death on charges of murdering a police officer. The court later upheld sentences on 37 of them and sentenced the rest to life in jail. One month after, a court, also in Minya sentenced 683 Morsi supporters to death for attacking a police station and killing a police officer. Mass death sentences were criticised by international and local rights groups. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/107835.aspx
