Egypt jails policeman 15 years over death of woman protester

An Egyptian court today sentenced a police officer to 15 years in jail over the shooting of a leftist female protester during a peaceful rally, a court official said.
Shaima al-Sabbagh, a 34-year-old mother of a five-year-old, was shot dead with birdshot in January as police dispersed a small march on the fourth anniversary of the uprising that toppled president Hosni Mubarak.
