Secretary of State John Kerry is the highest-level U.S. official to visit Egypt since Mohamed Morsi’s ouster last July. Kerry said he raised the Al Jazeera journalists’ case with President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and also the mass trials that have brought death sentences for hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood supporters. On Saturday, an Egyptian court confirmed the death sentences of nearly 200 prisoners, including the Brotherhood’s general guide, Mohammed Badie.
