Today, Egypt's highest appeals court upheld a final sentence of life imprisonment for the Brotherhood's general guide, Muhammad Badi, his deputy, Khairat al-Shater, and four other group leaders.
Local media, including the state-owned Al-Ahram newspaper, said that the Court of Cassation had rejected the appeal of Muhammad Badi and other Brotherhood leaders to the case known as "the events of the Guidance Bureau."
She explained that the court ruled in a final ruling, upholding a life sentence of 25 years for Badi, Al-Shater and four other leaders of the group, according to the same source.
In December 2018, the Cairo Criminal Court sentenced, in a first ruling, to life imprisonment for Badi, Al-Shater, Rashad al-Bayoumi, Abdel-Rahim Muhammad Abdel-Rahim, Mahmoud Abu Zaid and Mustafa Fahmy.
The prosecution had charged them with joining and establishing a terrorist group targeting army and police personnel, possessing weapons, firing recent gunshots, and working to disturb the public peace.
The case's events date back to the protests of June 30, 2013, when clashes took place in front of the headquarters of the Guidance Office in the Al-Muqattam suburb, east of Cairo, in which a number of dead and injured were killed.
