CAIRO: An Egyptian court on Saturday sentenced seven men to hang for killing a police general in the unrest following the 2013 military overthrow of former president Mohamed Morsi.
It was the defendants’ second trial after having won an appeal against an initial sentencing – they can appeal one last time.
General Nabil Farag was shot dead in September 2013 when police raided the village of Kerdassa near Cairo where Morsi’s supporters had holed-up more than two months after his overthrow.
Farag died from a single 9mm bullet to the chest. The court sentenced five other defendants to 10 years in prison but acquitted one.
