Egyptian al-Ahly football club supporters (Ultras) light flares as they celebrate in Cairo on March 9 after an Egyptian court upheld death sentences for 21 defendants over a deadly football riot in Port Said that killed 74 people last year. The court, sitting in Cairo for security reasons, also handed down life sentences to five defendants, with 19 receiving lesser jail terms and another 28 exonerated.
