Egypt jails 93 for ‘inciting riots’
2016-09-30
[MIDDLEEASTMONITOR] An Egyptian military court has sentenced 93 civilians to between 10 years and life imprisonment on charges of "inciting riots", sources revealed.

Lawyers Khaled Komi and Samir El-Farra said the military court in Asyut handed down life sentences to 62 defendants in absentia and ten-year jail terms to 16 defendants who were present in court. A further seven were acquitted. Details of the terms handed down to the other defendants were not made public.

The charges relate to the events following the dispersal of the sit-in at Rabaa al-Adawiya and al-Nahda Squares on 14 August 2013.
