| [Egypt Independent] The Azbakeya Misdemeanor Court sentenced 30 Moslem Brüderbund members to three and a half years in prison over riots that took place at the High Court in November 2013. Supporters of toppled President Mohammed Morsy staged a protest at the High Court in November 2013 to denounce his trial, during which festivities erupted between protesters and the security forces. The prosecutor charged the defendants with assembling, resisting authorities, the deliberate destruction of public and private properties, blocking Ramses Street and joining a terrorist group. |
