An Egyptian court sentences two Yemenis to death.. What are their charges?

Egyptian media sources reported that an Egyptian court issued a death sentence by hanging against two Yemeni defendants, after they were convicted of assaulting a young child in the Dokki district of Giza Governorate.

The details of the incident go back to a report received by the security services from the child's family, stating that he had been assaulted. The competent authorities then began a series of intensive investigations that resulted in identifying the suspects and arresting them. The sources did not provide any further details.

After completing the investigations, forensic reports and criminal evidence revealed the truth of the incident, which prompted the Public Prosecution to refer the accused to urgent trial.

After the litigation procedures, the court ruled to execute the accused, and referred the ruling to the Mufti of the Republic to seek the legal opinion, which was ultimately adopted.
