(CNN) -- An Egyptian court sentenced at least 528 supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood to death Monday on charges related to violent riots in the southern Egyptian city of Minya last August, including the murder of a police officer, the country's official news agency said.
The riots took place after a deadly crackdown by security forces on two large sit-ins in Cairo, where demonstrators were supporting ousted President Mohammed Morsy.
While the official MENA news agency reported 528 death sentences, other Egyptian media said 529 people were sentenced to death.
Egypt is NOT fucking around. They take terrorism seriously huh? It's been a calendar year since suspect number two blew up Boylston Street, and he's still wasting tax payer money in jail. Should've followed Egypt's lead and just immediately sentenced him to death.
528 people is a LOT of people. Hope they have enough bullets to carry out these sentences or its gonna get awkward when they start feeding the remaining death row inmates moldy food to try and kill them.
