Egypt sentences 28 to death

An Egyptian court, sentenced 28 people to death over the killing of top prosecutor 2 years ago.

Hisham Barakat was killed in 2015 when a 🚗car 💣bomb struck his convoy in Cairo, an attack for which Egypt blamed the Muslim Brotherhood and Gaza-based Hamas.

The death sentences approved by the mufti, Egypt's official interpreter of Islamic law, whose opinion is legally required but not binding.

Egypt struggled to quell violence💥 by armed groups since the military overthrew Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi in 2013 and cracked down on his supporters.

Egyptian courts have sentenced 💯's of Morsi supporters to death since his overthrow, but many have appealed and won new trials.
