A Suez military court sentenced two defendants of the Muslim Brotherhood group to seven and ten years of rigorous imprisonment over torching a vehicle of a gas company.

Three MB elements had set a vehicle of a gas company in Suez on fire in December. One was arrested, while the other escaped.

The in-custody defendant got seven rigorous years in prison, while the other was sentenced in absentia to ten rigorous years. The lawsuit against the third was dismissed due to his death.
