Egypt court confirms Muslim Brotherhood death sentences
Euronews ^ | 02/02/2015 | Alasdair Sandford

A court in Egypt has upheld death sentences on 183 supporters of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, on charges of killing police officers.

They had been convicted of taking part in an attack on a police station at Kardasa near Cairo in August 2013, in which at least a dozen officers died.

The initial sentences were handed down in December but were sent to the Grand Mufti, Egypt’s top religious authority, for ratification.

Hundreds of death sentences have been pronounced on Muslim Brotherhood supporters but none has been carried out.

Egypt has mounted one of the biggest crackdowns in its modern history on the Brotherhood since the political demise of Mohamed Mursi, the country’s first democratically-elected president.

Thousands of Brotherhood supporters have been arrested and put on mass trials in a campaign which human rights groups say shows the government is systematically repressing opponents.

Prosecutors say Mursi is to undergo a fourth trial in mid-February.

He is accused of treason and spying for Qatar.

Katie Couric will have to get her mourning clothes out of the dry cleaning bag.
The initial sentences were handed down in December but were sent to the Grand Mufti, Egypt's top religious authority, for ratification. Hundreds of death sentences have been pronounced on Muslim Brotherhood supporters but none has been carried out... Mohamed Mursi [the Islamofascist despot] ... is to undergo a fourth trial in mid-February. He is accused of treason and spying for Qatar.

Too bad the Egyptians couldn’t extradite Obama as the chief mastermind of the Brotherhood.

Odumbo must be working real hard on what revenge plan he will lay on Egypt when those muzzie brothers of his are “offed”.
He is a poor loser.

He is accused of treason and spying for Qatar.

Previously, the charges were killing protesters (rather amusing to be put on trial for that by Sisi) and some other vague charge of corruption.

I doubt if they will bring Qatar into it, in court, because that makes open trouble with the Gulf States. But Qatar may be funding the insurgency in Sinai, in which case, perhaps the Egyptian govt needs to confront them.
