Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie and 21 other members of banned movement have being condemned to death by the Egyptian courts over two separate cases for inciting violence.

Badie along with 13 Brotherhood members were found guilty in plotting attacks aiming at creating chaos in Egypt in the year 2013, according to a report. They were also charged with setting up operations room for preparations of attacks against the state after Islamist President Mohamed Morsi was ousted by the army in July 2013.

The authorities declared the brotherhood as a terrorist organisation in November 2013.

Several people have been arrested often in speedy mass trails. This has resulted in an international outcry over the fairness of the proceedings. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has also expressed his concern.

Badie had been given four life sentences in separate trials. He was condemned to death for incitement of violence. However the sentence was overturned. Now Badie is facing a retrial now.

The report said that Bortherhood former spokesman Mahmud Ghazlan, former provincial governors and other senior members of the group were also among the co-defendants of Badie who were sentenced to death on Monday. The verdict was called "farcical" by defence lawyer Ahmad Helmi.

The report also said that court referred its verdict to the nation's top Sunni Muslim Authority, Al-Azhar for advisory opinion before giving the death sentence, in keeping with the Egyptian law. However, the opinion of Al-Azhar is not binding and the court has the final say. The court may commute the sentence which can be challenged in appeals court later.

Fifty one suspects, including those who were given death sentence on Monday are being tried in the case. The final verdict of the case will be announced on April 11, the Cairo court said.
