Summary:In Cairo on October 25 1971, former Egyptian defence minister General Mohamed Fawzy, stood trial for alleged high treason. It was said the 56-year old general had backed an attempt by Egypt's former Vice-President Ali Sabry to overthrow President Sadat the previous May. The prosecution asked for the death sentence on Fawzy, but he was eventually given fifteen years in jail.
