EGYPT: 3 MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS SENTENCED TO DEATH
October 4, 2021: An Egyptian court on 28 September 2021 sentenced three members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood to death and nine to life in prison over killing a policeman and a civilian, state-run MENA news agency reported. The crime dates back to 2014 when the convicted Islamists showered a policeman who worked in securing ports and his uncle, a driver, with fire, which caused their immediate death. Mansoura Criminal Court has also sentenced ten years in prison for one person over the same charges and acquitted six others. The perpetrators have formed a terrorist cell to fund and attack anti-security operations, and to plant explosive devices near the police headquarters, the public prosecutor read.
