Cairo : An Egyptian military court has sentenced 418 alleged supporters of the banned Muslim Brotherhood, mostly in absentia, to prison terms from two years to life imprisonment for involvement in violence at a police station in 2013.

  Court documents show today’s decision was related to the storming of a police station in the Minya area in August of that year, after the military forcefully cleared two Brotherhood protest camps in Cairo, killing hundreds in the process.
