Egyptian defendants sits behind the defendant's bars during their trial at "Cabinet Incidents" case at the court in Cairo, Egypt, on July 25, 2017. An Egyptian criminal court sentenced 43 activists to life in prison on Tuesday, judicial sources said, in a retrial of anti-government protesters who clashed with authorities in late 2011. The 43 defendants had been charged with rioting, vandalism and attacking security forces during clashes with police and the army in Cairo in December 2011, in which at least 17 people were killed and almost 2,000 were wounded.
