Egypt implements first execution against Mursi supporter
Egypt executed on Saturday an Islamist accused of murder during clashes in mid-2013, the first death sentence implemented against a supporter of the banned Muslim Brotherhood under President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the interior ministry said.
Mahmoud Hassan Ramadan, a radical Islamist not officially part of the Brotherhood, was hanged in relation to an incident where children were thrown from a building during riots against the ousting of elected Islamist President Mohamed Mursi, the ministry said in a statement on its Facebook page.
