Egyptian court recommends death penalty for 30

‘An Egyptian court has recommended the death sentence for 30 defendants convicted of involvement in the assassination of the country’s top prosecutor two years ago.
The Cairo Criminal Court, in a preliminary judgment, gave death penalty to the suspected criminals involved in the assassination of Egypt’s Public Prosecutor Hisham Barakat in a bomb attack in the Cairo suburb of Heliopolis in late June 2015.
Barakat, whose convoy had been targeted by assailants, died of organ failure caused by his severe wounds in a hospital several hours after the assault.
 
Later on, Egyptian authorities detained 67 people suspected to be involved in the assassination, the most senior Egyptian state official killed by militants in recent years.’
