A court in Egypt has reportedly sentenced 102 supporters of deposed Islamist president Mohamed Morsi to 10 years in prison for inciting violence and possession of weapons.

Two other defendants have been sentenced to seven years in jail.

According to News 24, the army-installed government has rounded up thousands of Morsi supporters and put them on mass trials since overthrowing him in July.

Earlier, 683 people, including the leader of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood were sentenced to death in an initial ruling by a court in the southern city of Minya last week.
