EGYPTIAN security officials say the military is being deployed to the Mediterranean city of Port Said after eight people were killed in riots outside the main prison following a controversial verdict related to one of the world's deadliest incidents of soccer violence.
Two police were shot dead outside Port Said's main prison when angry relatives tried to storm the facility to free the defendants on trial.
Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at the crowd, killing six in Saturday's violence outside the prison.
At least 75 people were injured.
Port Said residents also cut off the main road leading to the city.
Officials spoke anonymously in line with regulations.
Earlier in the courtroom, families of the deceased wailed and raised their hands in the air shouting "Allahu Akbar", Arabic for "God is great".
The judge said in his statement read live on state TV that he would announce the verdict for the remaining 52 defendants on March 9.
Among those on trial are nine security officials.
The soccer melee on February 1, 2012 between Port Said's Al-Masry fans and Cairo's Al-Ahly fans was the world's deadliest soccer violence in 15 years, killing 74 people.
As is customary in Egypt, the death sentences will be sent to a top religious authority, the Grand Mufti, for approval.
