Mohammed Morsi sentenced to death


An Egypt court has sentenced former President Mohamed Morsi to death over a mass prison break in 2011.

Morsi is already serving a 20-year prison term for ordering the arrest and torture of protesters while in power.

The court ruled on Saturday that the sentencing of Morsi and 105 others will be referred to the Grand Mufti, the highest religious authority in Egypt, for confirmation.

He was deposed by the military in July 2013 following mass street protests against his rule.
