15 MB handed 1-3 year prison sentences in Daqahlia

The Mansoura Misdemeanor Court in Daqahlia handed 15 members of the Muslim Brotherhood sentences between one to three years in prison Tuesday on charges of crowding, calling for overthrowing the regime and possessing weapons. 
 
Fourteen were sentenced to one year, and one was sentenced to three years hard labor in prison. 
 
The defendants were arrested during protests that called for bringing down military rule and reinstating toppled President Mohamed Morsy and the 2012 Constiution. The protests led to clashes between the protestors and opponents.
