BBC article

They aren't fooling around here.

Quote :
The speed of the case, and the severity of the outcome, are unprecedented in Egypt, according to legal sources.

In a case centred on the killing of a single police officer, more than 520 defendants have been sentenced to death, at a breathtaking pace.

The first hearing - on Saturday - was quickly adjourned. At Monday's second session, the mass death sentences were announced.

A spokesman for the banned Muslim Brotherhood said the verdict came from a "Kangaroo court". One human rights campaigner said judges had become a tool for taking revenge.

In spite of claims by officials about the independence of the judiciary, critics will see this verdict as part of the state's campaign to quash the Brotherhood.

The ruling is expected to be appealed and several legal experts are predicting a retrial.
