An Egyptian court on Saturday sentenced four Muslim Brotherhood members to death over charges of killing demonstrators outside the group's headquarters in 2013, a judicial source has said.
The court also slapped 14 Muslim Brotherhood leaders, including to top leader Mohamed Badie and his two deputies Khairat al-Shater and Rashad Bayoumi, with life sentences each over the same charges, the source said.
The charges relate to violence that erupted in June of 2013 outside the Brotherhood's headquarters in Cairo's Moqattam district, during which nine people were killed and scores injured.
Egyptian authorities have unleashed a massive crackdown on the Brotherhood since the bloody dispersal in mid-2013 of two sit-ins staged by supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi during which hundreds of demonstrators were killed.
Egypt's army-backed authorities have since rounded up thousands of the Brotherhood's senior and mid-ranking members, hundreds of whom remain in detention.
