An Egyptian court has sentenced 528 people to death – the largest number of death sentences handed down in a single case in recent years.

528 people are going to lose their lives because of a completely bogus trial. Can you write a letter to stop these executions?

The sentences were passed under procedures that do not meet international fair trial standards. Check the numbers:
  • 545 people tried on charges ranging from ‘murdering a police officer’ to ‘administering and belonging to a banned group.’
  • 528 sentenced to death.
  • 118 defendants detained, but only 64 present in court when the trial opened.
  • Zero defendants and zero defence lawyers allowed in the court for the last day of the trial.
  • One judge, who reviewed Zero pieces of evidence.
  • Zero witnesses allowed to be cross-examined by the defence.
  • Zero additional time allowed for the defence to review 30,070 pages of case documents.

Rbobert can you imagine the shock, grief and confusion families of those convicted are experiencing? Your action today offers these families hope.

Under Egyptian law, all death penalty sentences must be referred to the country’s highest religious official, the Grand Mufti, for his advice, with the judge expected to formally issue his final decision on 28 April.

Take action today and demand the Egyptian authorities drop these appalling sentences.

In hope,

Activism Support Manager


PS: Later this month a further 600 Morsi supporters will face a similar trial and could be sentenced to death. Rbobert your action today can help stop this.
