An Egyptian court said it would transfer the cases of some accused of security-related offences of killing 43 police officers and 800 civilians, to Egypt's top religious authority.
They are among more than 700 people accused of murder over a 2013 demonstration at Rabaa Adawiya square when Islamist president Mohamed Mursi was ousted.
Egyptian law requires any capital sentence to be referred to Grand Mufti, which is not legally binding, but is rarely ignored by the courts.
