CAIRO: An Egyptian court on Sunday sentenced 20 people to death over the killing of 13 policemen following the army’s 2013 ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Mursi, judicial officials said.
The court also handed 114 people sentences ranging from 15 years to life (25 years) and ordered a juvenile jailed for 10 years, they said.
A further 21 defendants were acquitted. On August 14, 2013, a month after the army overthrew Mursi, security forces forcibly dispersed two pro-Mursi protest camps in Cairo in an operation that killed more than 700 people.
