Death sentences against former supreme guide of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood (MB) group Mohamed Badie and 11 other high ranking members were overruled Thursday by the Court of Cassation.
In April, the Giza Criminal Court sentenced him and his co-defendants, including the father of dual Egyptian-U.S. Mohamed Sultan, to death over inciting killing and spreading chaos by running an operation room in Cairo-based Rabaa square , where MB members and supporters were sitting-in.
Giza court also sentenced 24 others to life imprisonment in the same case that is dubbed in media as “Rabaa Operation Room.”
