Misr Al-Qadima’s misdemeanor court of appeals has rejected the appeal filed by Islam Al-Behairy against a verdict to send him to jail for 5 years over blasphemy.

It is worthy to mention that Misr Al-Qadima misdemeanor court has decided earlier to sentence Al-Behairy for 5 years in jail on charges of committing blasphemy.
