Egypt: Sara Khalifa among 13 sentenced to death in drug case
The Cairo Criminal Court sentenced, by execution, producers Sarah Khalifa and other defendants in the major drug case. The ruling was announced in person and unanimously by the court after consulting the Mufti, although his opinion is advisory and not binding. The verdict includes the death sentence for Sarah Khalifa and 11 other defendants, as well as life imprisonment for nine accused, and acquittal for seven others out of a total of 28 defendants. Investigations proved Khalifa’s involvement in providing funds for the organization’s activities and negotiating with key defendants to coordinate for them within Egypt, based on digital evidence and testimonies, while some of the defendants denied the validity of the presented evidence.
