According to the information received, on 2 December 2014, an Egyptian court recommended death sentences for 188 people on charges related to an attack on the Kerdassa police station in the Giza Governorate. These sentences were reportedly recommended following proceedings that did not meet minimum guarantees of fair trial and due process. The case files have been transferred to the Grand Mufti of the Republic for a non-binding opinion. The sentencing is scheduled to take place on 24 January 2015. Concerns are expressed about the repeated imposition of the death penalty following mass trials that contradict international standards relating to fair trial and due process, including the absence of thorough investigations, in violation of Egyptian and international law.
