Cairo (IINA) – An Egyptian court sentenced the Muslim Brotherhood's top leader Mohammed Badie and 26 of the group's leading figures to three years in prison for insulting the judiciary.

Badie and other defendants were in the criminal court of Cairo Sunday on charges of jailbreak during the 2011 uprising.

The judge delivered the sentence after the group's leaders offended the court during trial.

The trial of Badie and other defendants on the charge of escaping from jail has been adjourned to December 20.

Sunday's sentences came one day after an Egyptian court cleared Egypt’s former president Mubarak over killing protestors during the 2011 revolution that toppled him.
