From Ikhwan Web:

94 persons were sentenced to death and 701 others were given prison sentences out of 1136 defendants in 36 cases that appeared before the military justice between 1992 and 2000, said a human rights study.
The series of transferring civilians to military tribunals started in 1992 when president Mubarak, as a military governor, referred 48 defendants in the two cases of “Returnees from Afghanistan” and “Jihad Organization” to the Supreme Military Tribunal in Alexandria in late October 1992.
