Seventy-five people have been sentenced to death<\/a> in Egypt for protesting the 2013 coup by Abdel Fattah el-Sisi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s been strong condemnation from human rights groups for the latest wave of death sentences imposed in Egypt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most of the 75 convicted were taking part in a sit-in at a public square<\/a> in Cairo five years ago. More than 800 people died within hours when security forces moved in and opened fire.<\/p>\n

The death sentences are the latest in an unrelenting crackdown on dissent in Egypt since now President el-Sisi toppled Mohamed Morsi<\/a>, the country’s first democratically elected president.<\/p>\n
