A Cairo court sentenced yesterday ex-Ikhwan head Mohammed Badie and four others to life in prison on charges related to the killing of seven people in 2013, according to the Associated Press. Four others also received 10-15-year sentences on the same charges. The verdict, which can be appealed, is the latest life sentence to be handed down to Badie, who was also charged with “inciting violence and planning attacks against the state.” Separately, three defendants in another case were sentenced yesterday to death for forming and running the Ansar Al Sharia terrorist group, Ahram Online reports.
