An Egyptian court has today (May 16, 2015) sentenced former
president of Egypt, president Mohammed Morsi and more
than 100 other people to death over a mass prison break in
2011.
Morsi is already serving a 20-year sentence following his
conviction on 21 April on charges linked to the killing of
protesters outside a Cairo presidential palace in December
2012.
He became Egypt's first freely-elected leader in June 2012
after Mubarak was ousted. But he was removed from power
by the army in 2013 after protests against his presidency.
Muslim Brotherhood official Amr Darrag has condemned the
ruling as politically-motivated and called on the international
community to take action.
