Egypt soldiers get suspended sentence over protest

None

Egypt's Defense Minister has ratified a court decision giving a suspended sentence to 21 soldiers found guilty of violating army protocol by joining protests last year against the country's top military generals.

 

The group, dubbed the "April 8 officers" since most appear to have been detained and prosecuted for joining an April 2011 protest, are expected to be released soon. (AP)
