Title: Confirmation of Death Sentences for 12 Prominent Muslim Brotherhood Members in Egypt

Judicial sources stated that Egypt's highest civilian court upheld on Monday the death sentences issued against 12 prominent members of the Muslim Brotherhood related to a sit-in in 2013 that ended with security forces killing hundreds of protesters. This ruling, which cannot be appealed, means they could face execution if President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi approves the decision. Among the sentenced are Abdel Rahman al-Bor, described as the group's mufti, Mohamed Beltagy, a former parliament member, and Osama Yassin, a former minister.
