Mahmoud Hassan Ramadan, a radical Islamist not officially part of the Brotherhood, was hanged in relation to an incident where children were thrown from a building during riots against the ousting of elected Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, the ministry said in a statement on its Facebook page. The army removed the Brotherhood's Morsi in July 2013 following mass protests against his rule. Egyptian courts have since sentenced hundreds of alleged Brotherhood supporters to death, many in mass trials condemned by foreign governments and rights groups as violating international law.
