The verdict was delivered by Said Youssef Sabry, the same judge in the southern city of Minya who last month sentenced to death 529 alleged Islamists in a verdict that triggered international outrage. Sunday's sentencing of 42 Morsi supporters come a day before Sabry is expected to issue a verdict on a**ther batch of nearly 700 alleged Islamist defendants for the murder and attempted murder of several policemen last August. Since the army ousted Morsi last July, a government *****down has killed more than 1,400 people, mostly supporters of the deposed president, and jailed about 15,000.
