An Egyptian court has handed out life sentences to 230 people, who were involved in pro-democracy protests which toppled former president Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
Prominent liberal activist Ahmed Douma was also among those sentenced.
Mr Douma was one of the leaders of the Tahrir Square revolution and was a symbol of the repression that followed it, according to the BBC.
On Monday the judge who sentenced these activists, Mohammed Nagy Shehata, sentenced 183 members of the Muslim Brotherhood to death.
