Egyptian Court Sentences 525 Protesters To Death

An Egyptian court sentenced over 500 supporters of the ousted President Mohammad Morsi to death today in what was one of the quickest judicial decisions in the countries history, the offenses included killing 2 police officers and assaulting many more. It only took 2 delegations to come up with wether or not they were guilty or innocent and they ended up being found guilty on all charges. The defense attorneys argued they did not have enough time to review all of the case information for the mass amounts of people they were representing, and during the reading of the verdict they were not allowed access to the courtroom. What is being argued now is wether or not the trial was fair and not biased and wether or not it is legally binding. Witnesses say that the trial was more military then it was civilian, with security forces placed between the judge and the attorneys and when they tried to ask the judge for more time to review the material the judge snapped and told them if they continued they would be removed, the trial has been condemned by many human rights organizations in Egypt and some across the world who say this trial does nothing but weaken the military governments position in Egypt.
