Seven Islamist militants were executed in Egypt

Egypt-(Berberanews)-Human rights groups claim that #Egypt has hanged seven people accused of carrying out Islamist assaults this week.

Three of them were convicted guilty in 2016 of taking part in an attack in Helwan, Cairo’s outskirts, that murdered eight police officers.
