The attack at a mosque in the Sinai killed more than 300 people, at least 27 of whom were children.
It was a shocking verdict by an Egyptian Court. 529 people alleged members of the Muslim Brotherhood were sentenced to death. Of those sentenced, less than half are in custody and the rest are on the run.
The trial of Egypt’s deposed president Mohammed Morsi was postponed today until next month. Morsi is charged with inciting the murder of demonstrators back in 2012. And the government recently branded his party, the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization. In Egypt, politics and religion have long been intertwined.
Egyptian authorities say ousted president Mohamed Morsi is being detained because he conspired with the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas back in 2011.
