An Egyptian court has sentenced seven people to death over links to the ISIS group in Libya.
Saturday’s ruling refers the case to the Grand Mufti, the country’s top theological authority, to solicit his non-binding opinion on the sentences. The referral is a formality in cases of capital punishment.
The court has set a November 25 date for issuing the final verdict in the case, which involves 20 defendants.
The verdict is subject to appeal.
Charges include belonging to a militant group affiliated with the ISIS branch in Libya, weapons possession, inciting violence and participating in the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christian workers in Libya in 2015.
