Egypt: Mohammed Morsi death sentence overturned
15 November 2016 Middle East
Egypt's highest court of appeal has overturned death sentences against ousted President Mohammed Morsi and five other Muslim Brotherhood leaders.
The Court of Cassation ordered that the six men face a retrial in connection with a mass prison break during the 2011 uprising against Hosni Mubarak.
Twenty-one life sentences for other Brotherhood members were overturned.
Morsi was elected president in 2012 but was removed by the military a year later after protests against his rule.
