Egypt's highest civilian court on Thursday issued a final ruling upholding a death sentence for 21 suspected militants, the state news agency MENA said.
The agency said the defendants were convicted of belonging to Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis group, which changed its name to Sinai Province after pledging allegiance to the Islamic State militant group.
