of plotting attacks in Egypt, and of having ties with the Lebanon-based
group Hizbullah. Four of the indicted were given life sentences, while
two were given 15-year prison sentences, and 15 received 10-year prison
sentences. The rest were given between six and seven-month prison terms.
Four of the defendants were tried in absentia while the rest appeared
in the dock, shouting "God is great" after hearing the final verdict in a
trial that began almost a year earlier.
The defendants -- including two Lebanese, five Palestinians, one
Sudanese and 18 Egyptians -- were found guilty of "collecting
intelligence for the interest of a foreign entity, possessing explosive
material, spying and plotting against interests in the Suez Canal,
digging smuggling tunnels between Egypt and Gaza, and planning attacks
against Israelis and against resorts popular with them." They were
arrested in November 2008.
No higher appeal is possible for the case, with the only possibility
or recourse being a presidential pardon. The court declared its verdict
amid tight security measures. | |
