The Zagazig Criminal Court found the defendants guilty of terrorist activities, violating the new anti-protest law, and resisting the authorities. Earlier a court confirmed the death sentence of Morsi for a mass jailbreak during the 2011 uprising that toppled long-time Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak.
