Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el Sisi holds a news conference with the Chairman of the Sovereignty Council of Sudan Gen. Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman al Burhan at the Presidential Palace in Khartoum, Sudan, Saturday, on March 6, 2021.
The court "decided to reject all appeals" and uphold the verdict for all but two defendants, whose sentences were reduced to 15 years, Khaled al Masry wrote on Facebook.The defendants were charged with setting up "terrorist cells" that committed crimes including planning to assassinate Sisi and Saudi Arabia's former crown prince and interior minister, Mohammed bin Nayef.
The suspects were arrested on charges of belonging to a Daesh group affiliate known as Sinai Province, active in Egypt's restive North Sinai region, where security forces have for years fought an insurgency.Some were charged with the targeted killing of three judges in North Sinai in 2015, while others were charged with the targeting of tourists and security forces.
Since February 2018, the authorities have been conducting a nationwide operation against militants, mainly focused on North Sinai and the country's Western Desert.
