An Alexandria court sentenced activist Mahienour El Massry to two years in prison for illegally protesting the government’s decision to transfer sovereignty of Tiran and Sanafir to Saudi Arabia, judicial sources told Reuters. Four others were tried in absentia and given four-year prison terms on the same charges. El Massry was arrested in November and can still appeal the decision.
