Sarah Khalifa, Egyptian TV presenter, was sentenced to death by hanging by the Egyptian court. The presenter's brother received the same sentence in the same trial.
The case is related to the manufacturing and trafficking of synthetic cannabinoids, a synthetic drug. The conviction results from a court case involving this illegal activity.
Sarah Khalifa's defense has already announced it will appeal the decision, thus contesting the court's verdict.
This case arises in a context where Egypt has intensified its fight against synthetic drug trafficking, a substance whose consumption and sale have grown in the country in recent years.
