An Egyptian court sentenced 152
protesters on Saturday to between two
and five years in prison each after they
demonstrated against a decision to
transfer two Red Sea islands to Saudi
Arabia, judicial sources and state media
said.
Hundreds of police officers were deployed
in central Cairo on April 25 to quell
protests against President Abdel Fattah
al-Sisi's decision to hand over Tiran and
Sanafir islands.

More than 200 people are being tried in
connection with the protests, the judicial
sources said.
Of those sentenced on Saturday, 101
received five-year prison terms and 51
received two-year sentences, judicial
sources and the state-owned al-Ahram
newspaper said.
The 152 protesters were convicted of
breaking a law banning people from
protesting without first notifying the
Interior Ministry, the judicial sources
said.
Defense lawyer Ahmed Helmy said they
would appeal. "There is no evidence of
guilt," he told Reuters.
The prosecution did not issue any formal
statement on the verdicts.
In similar protests, on April 15, thousands
of people had called for "the fall of the
regime", a slogan from the 2011 uprisings
which ended Hosni Mubarak's 30-year
rule and briefly brought the Muslim
Brotherhood to power. More than 100
people were detained at those protests,
security officials said at the time. Most
were later freed without charge, judicial
sources said.
Saudi and Egyptian officials say the
islands belong to the kingdom and were
only under Egyptian control because
Riyadh had asked Cairo in 1950 to
protect them.source jamii forums.
