Ten people, including a journalist, were sentenced on Monday to one year in prison on charges of disrupting Egypt's January referendum on the constitution, according to a report.
The report said that the journalist, Samah Ibrahim, was arrested while covering a protest by supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi in Cairo, calling for a boycott of the vote.
It said that the nine others were sentenced along with Ibrahim for disturbing public security.
It noted that in February, three people were sentenced in absentia for three years in prison for campaigning for a "no" vote in the constitutional referendum.
