A court in Egypt on Monday ordered a retrial for 77 Muslim Brotherhood supporters, who were earlier sentenced between five to ten years in prison for taking part in violent acts in the coastal city of Alexandrian in 2013.

The incident took place on July 26, 2013, at Al-Qaed Ibrahim Square, where Muslim brotherhood supporters were protesting against the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi by the then army general Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi.

The violent clashes between Morsi supporters and the police, left at least 12 people dead and about 180 others injured.
