230 anti-Mubarak activists got sentenced to life imprisonment in Egypt

One of the leaders of the movement, Ahmed Douma, is part of the condemned. 39 miners were also sentenced to 10 years in prison by the same court in clashes between protesters and security forces in 2011.

Since the army ousted Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in July 2013 and bloodily suppressed the protests by his supporters, the increase in death sentences and long prison sentences by the hundreds in mass trials shipped sometimes within minutes sparked an international outcry.
