An Egyptian military tribunal sentenced 52 members of the Muslim Brotherhood, with one receiving a life sentence, while 12 were acquitted. This marks the first sentencing since the ousting of President Mohamed Mursi. The accused were charged with attacking the military in Suez on August 14, a day marked by significant violence following Mursi's removal. The new military-installed authorities have violently suppressed Brotherhood protests, resulting in over a thousand deaths and the arrest of around 2,000 members, including spiritual leader Mohamed Badi. The Brotherhood, which had won previous elections, is now forced underground. Additionally, an Egyptian court ordered the closure of four TV stations, including Al Jazeera's Egyptian channel.
