JUDY WOODRUFF (NewsHour): Finally tonight: the continuing crackdown in Egypt, this time in the courts; 638 suspected Islamists stood trial today on charges of murder or attempted murder during attacks on police stations back in August. No defense lawyers were present.
Yesterday, in a similar scene, more than 500 suspected supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood were sentenced to death.
We explore these developments with former State Department Middle East specialist Michele Dunne. She’s now at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
