Death Sentence For 21 Over Soccer Tragedy

Chaos and cheers in a Cairo courtoom as a judge sentences 21 to death for their part in last year's Port Said soccer stadium disaster. Judge Sobhy Adbel Maguid was forced to call repeatedly for calm as he read the list of names to be sent to Egypt's Grand Mufti - a phrase which denotes the death verdict. Clutching photos of their loved one, families of some of the 74 victims of the tragedy shouted and cheered as the verdict was delivered.
