An Egyptian court sentenced leading leftist activist #Alaa_Abdel_Fattah and 24 others to 15 years in jail on Wednesday for violating a protest law and on other charges, his lawyer said. Abdel Fattah was a symbol of the 2011 uprising against President Hosni Mubarak. Twenty-four other people were also sentenced to 15 years in jail on similar charges. The ruling came three days after former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was inaugurated as president, nearly a year after he toppled the country’s first freely-elected leader, Mohammed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood. read more
