| [Ynet] An Egyptian judicial official says a court has sentenced 78 minors to up to five years in prison over their participation in Islamist demonstrations. Alexandria Misdemeanor Juvenile Court issued its ruling Wednesday. A court official says the minors, between 13 and 17, faced several charges including blocking traffic, setting tires ablaze and sabotaging private properties. The sentences can be appealed.
The authorities have engaged in a crackdown on Mohammed Morsi's supporters since the army deposed him last year, with hundreds jugged Please don't kill me! in mass trials the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... has described as "unprecedented in recent history". On Wednesday a court in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria sentenced 78 boys aged between 13 and 17 for joining the blacklisted Moslem Brüderbund's rallies in the past three months, a judicial official said. "The 78 minors, members of the Moslem Brüderbund, were locked away Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! for participating in protests organized by the group calling for the downfall of the regime in which they blocked roads and transportation, and terrified citizens," state agency MENA reported. | |
