An Egyptian court on Wednesday slapped 13 supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi with three-year jail terms each for staging "unlicensed" protests, a judicial source hassaid.
The court found the 13 defendants – ten students and three doctors – guilty of staging unauthorized protests near Cairo's Al-Azhar University last December, the source said.
Prosecutors had accused the 13 supporters of the ousted president of multiple crimes, including unlicensed protest, assault and thuggery.
Last November, the Egyptian government passed a law making it necessary to obtain police permission before staging demonstrations.
The legislation sparked an outcry both inside and outside Egypt.
