An Assiut military court sentenced Wednesday 108 Muslim Brotherhood members to life in prison in absentia and 26 others to 10 years.
The defendants were charged with storming Malawy police station in Minya and killing Captain Hossam Yasser and eight others in the wake of the Rabaa al-Adawiya sit-in dispersal in 2013.
The court listened to police and eyewitnesses testimony over seven sessions.
