Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie sentenced to death

thetimes.co.uk - The leader of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and 13 other senior members of the group have been sentenced to death, an Egyptian court announced today.

Egypt’s highest Islamic legal official, the grand mufti, upheld the death sentence of Mohamed Badie for inciting chaos and violence after his group was voted into power but then overthrown by the military, banned and declared a terrorist organisation.

Thousands of members have been arrested and several mass trials have been heavily criticised by the international community.
