Egypt: strict new anti-terror laws imposed

Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has approved stringent new counter-terrorism laws to fight the country's growing Islamist insurgency.

The laws establish special courts and offer additional protection from legal consequences for military and police officers who have used force.

They also impose the death penalty for anyone found guilty of setting up or leading a terrorist group.

Rights groups say the legislation will be used by Mr Sisi to crush dissent.
