Unrest Grows After Court Upholds Death Sentences For 21 Convicted Port Said Football Rioters

PORT SAID, EGYPT - MARCH 9: Smoke rises from fires set by protestors in an attempt to block boats from docking and disrupt traffic at the port on the Suez Canal to demonstrate after the announcement of the final verdict in the case of the Port Said football massacre, on March 9, 2013, in Port Said, Egypt. Over seventy football fans of the Al Masry team were killed during a stadium brawl that took place after a match between the Al Masry and Al Ahly teams in the northern Egyptian city in February 2012. Two senior police officers, the Port Said Security Director Essam Samak and head of the Port Said Water Bodies Security Department, Mohammed Saad, received 15 year sentences, while seven other police officers were acquitted. Five Port Said citizens received life sentences on Saturday, and twenty one civilian death sentences handed down in a January ruling on the same case were confirmed. (Photo by Ed Giles/Getty Images).
