A military court in Assiut, Upper Egypt, on Sunday sentenced 148 elements of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood to life imprisonment in absentia over violence acts that took place in Minya following the dispersal of MB sit-ins on August 14, 2013.
Also, 42 defendants were sentenced to 10-year imprisonment, while two others were sentenced to five-year imprisonment in presence of the defendants.
A minor was sentenced to one-year imprisonment.
The court acquitted 10 defendants in their presence for lack of evidence.
Late prosecutor general Hisham Barakat referred the defendants to the military justice in March 2015 over charges of joining a banned group, storming public facilities, inciting violence, staging anti-state protests, rioting, and setting fire to Mallawi National Museum following the dispersal of sit-ins of pro-ousted president Mohamed Morsi at Rabaa and Nahda squares on August 14, 2013.
