A Cairo Criminal Court handed down another life sentence to Ikhwan leader Mohamed Badie, Khairat El Shater, and four other defendants for violence-related charges from 2013, according to Ahram Gate. It is the second time Badie and El Shater are sentenced to life in this case. The Court ruled against them in 2015 but ordered a retrial when new counts were added to the charges. The news came as authorities arrested yesterday Ahmed Suleiman, who served as justice minister under Ikhwan president Mohamed Morsi, on charges of belonging to an illegal group, sources told Reuters.
