Egypt court upholds death sentence of Islamist

A court in Egypt has reaffirmed the death sentence handed to an Islamist charged with murder during the violence that followed the ouster of Mohamed Morsi in 2013.

In one of the most dramatic scenes of that period captured on video, the man sentenced to death, Mahmoud Hassan Ramadan, threw someone off a rooftop during clashes in Alexandria. Fifty-seven others were sentenced to 15-25 years in the case.
