03 February 2016 :

A court in Egypt overturned the death sentences given last year to 149 supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood group and ordered a retrial. 
Last February, 183 people were sentenced to death over the killings of 16 policemen in the Egyptian town of Kardasa near Cairo in August 2013. Over 30 pro-Islamists were sentenced to death in absentia in the same hearing, but the court said they would have to surrender for a retrial to take place, AFP reports.
The attack on police stations in Egypt came after a deadly police crackdown on protesters just months after the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi. About 700 people had been killed in police firing.
