Egypt court sentences 529 to death

While I support the death penalty in some circumstances I cannot in this case. They are being killed for political reasons and this is not a suitable sanction.

Egypt court sentences 529 Muslim Brotherhood members to death

Egyptian court sentences 529 members of outlawed Muslim Brotherhood to death in what is thought to be largest mass death sentence in modern history

A court in Egypt on Monday sentenced 529 supporters of ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi to death after a mass trial, judicial sources said.

Islamist backers of Morsi are facing a deadly crackdown launched by the military-installed authorities since his ouster in July, with hundreds of people killed and thousands arrested.

The sentence was delivered in the second hearing of a trial which began on Saturday in Minya, south of the capital.

Of those sentenced, 153 are in detention and the rest are on the run, the sources said, adding that 17 others were acquitted. The verdict can be appealed

Those sentenced are among more than 1,200 Morsi supporters on trial in Minya. A second group of about 700 defendants will be in the dock on Tuesday.

One mans terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

Kill them for crimes not for their ideology.

A muslim terrorist is a muslim terrorist.
Freedom fighter is just a piss poor excuse used by musseys to get bleeding hearts from the west on side and they know it.
All they want is the government there. The muslim brotherhood couldn't give a fat rats ass about the people
nor about you. Freedom fighters my ass.Since the nutjobs are on both sides of the fence over there best let the mussey extremists top the mussey extremists may the best one win and then take on the west.
Are you telling me you think all 529 people (and more to come) are guilty of the most despicable of all crimes worthy of the death penalty?

Sure, we can all agree that there are people that deserve to die for their crimes but the death penalty needs to go.
