A judge at a mass trial in Egypt has recommended the death penalty for 683 people - including Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie.

The defendants faced charges over an attack on a police station in Minya in 2013 in which a policeman was killed.

However, the judge also commuted to life terms 492 death sentences out of 529 passed in March in a separate case.

That's a bit of a naive reaction, but there will be repercussions and deaths will be martyred.

Hold on, 683 people all killed the same Police Officer? This doesn't make any sense.

Was that Australian journalist among those sentenced to death? Because I so hope to god he's not

This is not how you build a democracy. Collective and summary punishments like this amount to state terrorism.

How the hell do you even round up that many people and say now stand still well we kill you. That's enough people for a small army you don't think they wont just band together and defend them selves.

People who've probably never had to fight in their lives. A lot more than 600 people have been executed at once at one point in time, but I can't seem to remember when...
