An Egyptian court has has handed down sentences raging from 5 to 88 years to 11 members of deposed President Muhammad Morsi to prison for rioting and creating public disorder.
The sentence comes amid continued crackdown on Morsi supporters by Egypts military back government which orchestrated a coup de'tat last year of Muhammad Morsi who is also facing four separate trials.
The defendants were arrested last year during a wave of protests in support of Muhammad Morsi after his ousting. More than 500 Morsi supporters were sentenced in March by the same court in Menya, south of Cairo.
Any activists seen as hostile by the military backed government of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi are facing severe crackdown and being handed down jail sentences.
