Egypt Court Jails Seven in ‘Tagammu Cell’ Case

An Egyptian court on Saturday handed down prison sentences to seven defendants in the case known as the “Tagammu Cell.”

Three defendants received life sentences, while the other four were sentenced to 10 years in prison each.

The rulings divided the seven defendants into two groups, with the life terms representing the heavier penalties imposed.

The brief account of the ruling did not identify the defendants or specify the charges against them. It also provided no details on whether the sentences could be appealed.
