A famous TV presenter in Egypt named Sarah Khalifa has been sentenced to death. A court found her guilty of being part of a drug trafficking ring.
Khalifa was not the only one involved. In total, 12 people were sentenced to death in this same case.
The case has grabbed a lot of attention because of her high-profile job on television. Before this, she was known for hosting a crime show, which makes the situation even more shocking to many people in the country.
Being sentenced to death is the most serious punishment a court can give. In Egypt, cases like this usually go through a long process. The defendants often have the right to appeal the decision, which means a higher court will take another look at the evidence to see if the first trial was fair.
For now, the legal process is ongoing. People are waiting to see what will happen next as her lawyers prepare their next steps to challenge the ruling.
