During April, Egyptian courts issued death sentences against 45 defendants in 32 cases, including two defendants whose sentences became final and no longer subject to appeal. Death sentences were also carried out against 3 individuals in 3 separate cases. In addition, the papers of 71 defendants in 33 other cases were referred to the Grand Mufti for his legal opinion.

It should be noted that these figures represent the minimum number researchers were able to document through families and information circulated in the media.
