Two Men Executed for Murder of Doctor Osama Sabour

Egyptian authorities have executed Ahmed Shehata and Ahmed Farag after their convictions for the murder of doctor Osama Sabour, whose case became widely known as the “Sahel doctor” killing.

The executions followed a ruling by the Court of Cassation upholding the death sentences handed down against the two men.

Sabour’s mother said she prostrated in gratitude to God after the sentences were carried out.

The executions mark the enforcement of the sentences upheld by Egypt’s highest appeals court. The brief account did not specify when or where they took place.
