## Resource

A shocking twist in Egypt: TV star Sarah Khalifa, with millions of Instagram followers, and 11 others face death sentences for allegedly running a massive synthetic drug trafficking ring — accused of importing chemicals, weapons, and producing over 750kg of drugs. Despite her tearful pleas of innocence — claiming she’s never even smoked — prosecutors rely on digital evidence and witness testimony. While nine others get life, seven walk free, amid Egypt’s alarming global reputation for handing out death penalties.
