Soon after, the six defendants in the so-called “Arab Sharkas” case – who were handed death sentences in October 2014 for allegedly attacking security posts – were executed, despite a local and international outcry against the flawed trial. According to Ahmed Helmi, a lawyer for four of the six men, the government wanted to “send a message following Morsi’s verdict” that it would carry out such sentences.
不久，六名所谓的“阿拉伯沙尔卡斯”（Arab Sharkas）案的被告——他们在2014年10月因被控袭击安全岗而被判处死刑——被执行死刑，尽管地方和国际人士都强烈反对这一漏洞百出的审判。赫尔米（Ahmed Helmi）是六人中的四人的律师之一，他表示政府希望“在穆尔西的裁决后释放一个信号”——他们会真的执行这些审判。他说，他的当事人和其他人只是“替罪羊”。
