Nasr City Misdemeanor Court sentenced Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim to two years in prison on Tuesday, removing him from office, fining him LE101 and setting a bail of LE2,000 to suspend the sentence.
Ibrahim has been sentenced for failing to implement a court ruling in favor of two former political detainees.
The two detainees, Ali Ahmed and Abdel Alim Mohamed, had filed for compensation for the time they had spent in prison. A court ruled in favor of a LE25,000 compensation for them, yet the minister did not carry out the verdict.
