28 sentenced to death in Egypt over 2015 prosecutor killing
A court on Saturday sentenced 28 people to death and jailed 15 others for 25 years each over the 2015 killing of Egypt's top prosecutor Hisham Barakat. He was killed in a car bomb attack in Cairo. The court had recommended passing the decision on the death penalty to Egypt's top religious leader, the Grand Mufti, who approved the sentence.
