27 pro-MB Azhar students imprisoned for one year

The Nasr City Appeal Court of Misdemeanor sent on Monday 37 pro-Muslim Brotherhood Al-Azhar University students to one year imprisonment on charges of crimes of violence, vandalism and attacks on security forces last October during marches and armed assemblies.
 
The defendants faced three charges: assembling in order to disrupt laws and regulations, attacking people and public properties and physically assaulting police and security forces.
 
The Nasr City Misdemeanor Court of first degree had sent the defendants to a year and a half in prison for the charges they face. The defendants then appealed the case, leading their verdict to be lessened.
 
The events of the case took place last October, when riots took place in Mostafa al-Nahhas street of Nasr City in the vicinity of the university dorms.
