General Info:
Ahmed Galal El-Bakry is a defendant charged with having links to the Islamic State terrorist group, to life in prison.

Defendants in the case, which dates back to 2015, were charged with joining an illegal group, communicating with the Islamic State terrorist group and assaulting public and private properties.

In 2019, the Court of Cassation, whose rulings are final and unappealable, rejected an appeal by eight defendants in the case, upholding a 2016 life-imprisonment sentence against them.

The court in 2016 also handed life sentences against other three defendants in the case in absentia, including El-Bakry.
