An Egyptian court has handed down heavy sentences of 11 years in prison
to 21 female supporters of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi for holding
a protest, Yahoo News
reported. The court in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria issued the
ruling Nov. 27, weeks after the women were arrested during a protest
demanding the reinstatement Morsi, ousted in a July-3 coup. The women
were convicted on multiple charges, including holding a demonstration,
sabotage and using force. Seven of them are under 18 years of age.
