MB leader Badie jailed for life


Date:

(MENAFN- Arab News) CAIRO: A court in Egypt on Monday jailed Muslim Brotherhood chief Mohamed Badie to life in prison for inciting clashes that killed six people in his third such sentence.

The 71-year-old has already been sentenced to life terms in two other separate cases as well as being handed down a death sentence along with 182 others for inciting violence in which two policemen were killed last August.

On Monday the Cairo court jailed him and 14 other leaders including the Brotherhood's Essam Al-Erian and Mohamed Al-Beltagy to life for inciting deadly clashes in July 2013.

A government crackdown on Mursi supporters since his ouster has left at least 1400 people dead and 15000 jailed.
