In March 2014, a lower court handed the two policemen the jail terms after a retrial for the manslaughter and torture of Khalid Saeed in 2010 at an Internet cafe in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria. The Court of Cassation rejected the policemen's appeal against that verdict, a judicial official said, adding that Wednesday's ruling was final. A Facebook group entitled "We are all Khaled Saeed" helped organise the 18-day protests that drove Mubarak's police force from the streets and forced him to resign in February 2011.
