About 300 Brotherhood members have been arrested since a December protest that prompted government claims that the movement was taking up arms. Fifty young members appeared at the protest in military-style black uniforms and balaclavas.
The 29, appearing in an area of the courtroom behind bars, erupted in protest when the decision was announced. About 200 relatives and supporters demonstrated outside. "This is a dictatorial regime, this is an autocratic regime," shouted Khayrat el-Shater, the group's chief strategist and a main financier. Others cried, "Oh history, witness this, they have stolen the Brotherhood's money!"
