An Egyptian court has sentenced a television presenter and 11 others to death in a drug trafficking case, according to local reports. The defendants were reportedly convicted after proceedings involving allegations of organizing or participating in a narcotics network. The verdicts are expected to face appeals and review under Egypt’s legal system before any executions could be carried out. Human rights groups have frequently criticized death penalty practices and called for fair trials, transparency, and due process for all defendants.
