A court in Egypt has sentenced 683 people to death in a mass trial, reports BBC.
The defendants faced charges over an attack on a police station in Minya in 2013 in which a policeman was killed.
Earlier in March, a court in Egypt had awarded death penalty to 529 Muslim Brotherhood supporters.
According to Human Rights Watch, the trials took just hours each and the the court prevented defence lawyers from presenting their case, said the report.
The judge also reversed 492 death sentences out of 529 passed in March, commuting most to life in prison.
The cases and speed of the hearings have drawn widespread criticism from human rights groups and the UN.
Last month, the UN human rights commissioner condemned the two trials and said they had breached international human rights law.
Authorities have cracked down harshly on Islamists since President Mohammed Morsi, who belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood, was removed by the military in July.
Meanwhile, hundreds have been killed and thousands arrested over the incident.
