CAIRO, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- An Egyptian court sentenced a doctor Monday to more than two years in prison for conducting an illegal genital mutilation procedure that resulted in the death of a 13-year-old girl.
Dr. Raslan Fadl had been acquitted in November for his role in her death but was convicted on appeal by the Aga Misdemeanor Court in Mansoura. He was given a prison sentence of two years and three months, fined and ordered to close his clinic for one year.
