Post-coup unrest in Egypt

An Egyptian court has sentenced ousted President Mohamed Morsi to 20 years in prison over the killing of protesters in 2012.

Clashes between supporters and opponents of Morsi outside the presidential palace in December 2012 left at least 10 people dead.

An Egyptian criminal court on April 21 sentenced ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi to 20 years in prison over the killing of protesters in 2012, the first verdict to be issued against the country's first freely elected leader.
                   

An Egyptian court sentenced 22 members of the Muslim Brotherhood to death on April 20 over an attack on a police station in a district outside Cairo in 2013, judicial sources said. 

The assault was part of a wave of violence that rocked the country after the army removed elected Islamist president Mohamed Mursi from power following mass protests against his rule in June 2013. 

A bomb exploded near a police checkpoint on bridge in an affluent Cairo neighbourhood on April 5, killing an officer, Egyptian police officials said.
      
The bomb had been placed next to the checkpoint on a side of the May 15 bridge located in the neighbourhood of Zamalek, the officials said.
      

Despite months of embarrassment for Egypt over a series of alleged leaks of sensitive remarks including about Gulf allies, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi appears to have avoided a major diplomatic furore.
      

An Egyptian appeals court on Feb. 11 overturned death sentences of 33 alleged Islamist supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi and ordered a retrial, state media and their lawyer said.
      

Egypt's Foreign Ministry has hit back at Turkish criticism of mass death sentences ruled by an Egyptian court against 183 people for engaging in deadly violence two years ago.

In a statement headlined "Egypt denounces Turkish nonsense," the ministry said yesterday that the Turkish Foreign Ministry had not "considered the feelings of the martyrs' families and their right to justice."

Turkey has harshly condemned an Egyptian court's decision to sentence 183 men to death over allegations of killing 13 policemen in 2013, accusing the judiciary decision of being politically motivated.

Egypt's army clashed with jihadists in Sinai Friday, leaving two children dead, as President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi flew home to deal with a wave of militant attacks that killed at least 30 people.
      
The top brass vowed to hunt down those behind the violence.
      

At least 17 people were killed on Jan. 25 in Egypt's bloodiest protests since Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was elected president, as security forces fired at protesters marking the anniversary of the 2011 uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak.
