Former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has been sentenced to 20 years in jail.
He will serve his sentence without parole for what the court ruled as the killing of protesters in December 2012, in a decision broadcast on state television.
It was the first ruling against Muslim Brotherhood leader Morsi since the army toppled him in 2013 after mass protests against his rule. The decision can be appealed.
Morsi was deposed by the army in July 2013 following mass street protests against his rule.
Since then, the authorities have banned his Muslim Brotherhood movement and arrested thousands of his supporters.
Morsi and the other defendants, including senior Brotherhood leaders Essam Erian and Mohamed Beltagy, were acquitted of another charge of premeditated murder, which carries the death sentence.
Most of the other defendants were also given 20-year prison sentences. Morsi’s legal team have said they will appeal.
Prosecutors had accused supporters of then-president Morsi of descending on a peaceful sit-in outside Cairo’s Ittihadiya presidential palace, where they detained, beat and tortured a number of demonstrators.
The evidence included testimony from alleged torture victims and forensic reports detailing their injuries, Egyptian state media said.
