| 2015-08-23 |
| [Hurriyet Daily News] An Egyptian court sentenced Moslem Brüderbund leader Mohammed Badie and other prominent Brotherhood figures to life in prison on Aug. 22 over an attack on a cop shoppe in 2013, judicial sources said, part of a sustained crackdown on the group. The assault was part of a wave of violence that rocked the country after the army removed elected Islamist president Mohammed Mursi from power following mass protests against his rule in June 2013. Senior Brotherhood figure Mohammed El-Beltagy and Islamist holy man Safwat Hegazy were also sentenced to life imprisonment on Aug. 22. |
