MB leaders receive life sentences over 2013 violence

Leaders of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood including Muhammad El Beltagy and Safwat Hijazi, as well as the group’s general guide, Mohamed Badie, were handed life sentences on Saturday for inciting violence outside a police station in Port Said governorate in 2013, Al Masry Al Youm reports. The incidents came on the heels of the dispersal of the Brotherhood-led sit-ins at Cairo’s Rabaa El Adawiya and El Nahda squares.
