Egypt court strikes down ousted president's death sentence
None
An Egyptian court has struck down a death sentence passed by a lower tribunal against an ousted Islamist president for his part in a mass prison break during the 2011 uprising.
The Court of Cassation's Tuesday ruling means that Mohammed Morsi would be given a new trial, alongside five other leaders of his now-banned Muslim Brotherhood group, whose death sentences in the same case were also quashed.
The court also struck down life sentences passed in the same case against 21 Brotherhood members.
