The Ismailia Emergency State Security court has confirmed today the death sentence handed down to three Taba bombings suspects.
UPDATE: I still don’t have the details of the verdicts, but there were no acquittals. The three defendants’ execution sentences, whose papers were referred to the Mufti last September for approval, were confirmed today. All the rest of the defendants received harsh prison sentences.
Here are photos of today’s trial, by Nasser Nouri.
UPDATE: Here’s a report from Al-Jazeera.

Hey Hoss –
There were 15 sentences. Three death sentences, 10 sentences of between 5-25 years. Two people died in shoot-outs with the police as they were being arrested, police say. I have a chart of the full list of charges and defendants, courtesy of the Hisham Mubarak Center. Drop me a line if you’re interested.
