Two out of them were sentenced to death by hanging. The Public Prosecution referred the defendants to trial in February 2015, after arresting them from the al-Salloum port during their return from Libya. They were accused of involvement in terrorism outside Egyptian territory and planning to target facilities within the country. Different charges were pressed against them, including receiving military training by al-Qaeda in Libya, joining an illegally founded group, disturbing the constitution and state institutions, encroaching personal freedom, and undermining national unity.
