Egypt sentences 75 protesters to death after mass trial

Seventy-five people were sentenced to death and another 47 to life in prison Saturday by an Egyptian court for their actions in a 2013 protest in Cairo.

Hundreds more will spend anywhere from five to 15 years in prison under the sentences handed down in the mass trial of more than 700 people, primarily leaders and members of the Muslim Brotherhood, involved in the protests supporting former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi.
