Last month, a man who worked on Obama's Presidential campaign was also sentenced to death in Egypt for his support of the Jihadist Muslim Brotherhood organization.
From AFP:
Cairo (AFP) - An Egyptian court on Saturday sentenced deposed Islamist president Mohamed Morsi and more than 100 other people to death for their role in a mass jailbreak during the 2011 uprising.
Hours after the ruling, gunmen shot dead two judges, a prosecutor and their driver in the strife-torn Sinai Peninsula, in the first such attack on the judiciary in the region.
Morsi, sitting in a caged dock in the blue uniform of convicts after already been sentenced to 20 years for inciting violence, raised his fists defiantly when the verdict was read.
Judge Shabaan El-Shamy handed down the same sentence to more than 100 other defendants including Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badei, already sentenced to death in another trial, and his deputy Khairat al-Shater.
Morsi, elected president in 2012 as the Brotherhood's compromise candidate after Shater was disqualified, ruled for only a year before mass protests spurred the military to overthrow him in July 2013.
He was among dozens of Islamist leaders detained during a crackdown that left hundreds of Morsi supporters dead.

This is the monster our war hero McCain tried to liberate, carrying water for Morsi's BFF Obama.
Trust there are no appeals in their judicial system, and they are executed asap and save money to the poor Egyptian population.
