Egyptian Court Orders Retrial for Dozens of Muslim Brotherhood Members

CAIRO — An Egyptian court ordered a retrial for 37 Muslim Brotherhood members sentenced to death and 115 others sentenced to life in a mass trial last year, judicial officials said on Saturday.

The original trial last year in Minya also ended with 377 people sentenced in absentia. Those sentenced in absentia automatically receive retrials when they turn themselves in, according to Egyptian law.
