An Egyptian court sentenced 152 protesters on Saturday to between two and five years in prison each after they demonstrated against a decision to transfer two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia, judicial sources and state media said. More than 200 people are being tried in connection with the protests, the judicial sources said. Of those sentenced on Saturday, 101 received five-year prison terms and 51 received two-year sentences, judicial sources and the state-owned al-Ahram newspaper said. The 152 protesters were convicted of breaking a law banning people from protesting without first notifying the Interior Ministry, the judicial sources said. Defence lawyer Ahmed Helmy said they would appeal. "There is no evidence of guilt," he told Reuters. The prosecution did not issue any formal statement on the verdicts. (Reuters)
