Cairo Criminal Court jailed Islam Nabih, 28, and Reda Fatih, 25, for torturing and sexually abusing minibus driver Imad al-Kabir in January 2006, in a rare case of security forces members being sentenced for abusing detainees.
In court, Kabir shouted "Allahu akbar" (God is great) when the sentences were handed down.
