CAIRO: An Egyptian court sentenced 183 supporters of the illegitimate Muslim Brotherhood to death on monday on charges of killing police officers, as authorities continued their crushing on Islamists.
The men were condemned of taking part in a job within the killings of sixteen policemen within the city of Kardasa in August, 2013 throughout the upheaval that followed the army’s ouster of religious person president Mohamed Morsi. Thirty four were sentenced in absentia.
Egypt has mounted one amongst the most important crackdowns in its modern history on the Brotherhood since the political end of Morsi, the country’s 1st democratically-elected president.
Thousands of Brotherhood supporters are in remission and placed on mass trials in a very campaign that human rights teams say shows the govt is consistently restrictive opponents.
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who as army chief toppled Morsi, describes the Brotherhood as a significant security threat.
The movement says it’s committed to peaceful policy.
