A court in Egypt has sentenced seven men to prison after finding them guilty of sexual assault and harassment.
Several women were attacked by a mob in Cairo's Tahrir Square last month during celebrations after the election of president Abdul Fattah Al-Sisi.
Afterwards, president Al- Sisi ordered officials to enforce a new law making sexual assault a crime for the first time.
Women's rights groups have in the past accused the Egyptian authorities of failing to tackle the issue.
