Egypt executed a television presenter and her brother by hanging for drug trafficking convictions. The sentence was applied by the Egyptian court against the two siblings.
According to the court, the convicted brought chemical raw materials from outside the country to Egypt. This raw material was used for drug manufacturing.
The siblings transformed a residential building into a secret laboratory. In this location, they manufactured and prepared drugs for further distribution.
The case gained international prominence due to the public figure status of the television presenter among those convicted.
