An Egyptian was handed a 15-year prison terms in Egypt for his involvement in leaking secondary school exams while a policeman was jailed for seven years for torturing a man to death in a police station in the same country. Ibn Al Dunya reflects on the these and other sentences, concluding that the former was ‘unfair.'

    Hi Amira,
    Just to clarify, the so called ¨ringleader¨ got a 15 year prison sentence, the other 13 convicted in the case recieved sentences between 3-10 years and five were acquitted.
