Egyptian television presenter Sarah Khalifa suffered another major legal blow on the same day she was sentenced to death in a sprawling drug trafficking case, when a Cairo court also sentenced her to three years in prison in a separate case involving the assault and filming of a young man.
Khalifa, 39, was sentenced to death by hanging alongside 11 other defendants after being convicted in a case involving the manufacture and trafficking of synthetic drugs. But the separate verdict means the television personality is now facing another prison sentence on top of the capital punishment ruling.
