Cairo, March 24 (IANS) Egypt's anti-coup alliance has called for massive protest rallies following the death sentences meted out to hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood members. The coalition, which is made up of dozens of parties and groups, has urged Egyptians to flock to Cairo's Liberation, Rabia, and Nahdah squares Wednesday to protest the verdict, Iran's Press TV reported Monday. This comes after a court in the city of Minya sentenced over 500 supporters of ousted president, Mohamed Morsi, to death. "The court has decided to sentence to death 529 defendants and 16 were acquitted," Press TV quoted lawyer Ahmed al-Sharif as saying Monday.
