Egypt court overturns death sentence against former president Mohamed Mursi
None
CAIRO- Egypt's Court of Cassation overturned on Tuesday a death sentence against deposed President Mohammed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood and ordered a retrial.
Mursi was sentenced to death in June 2015 in connection with a mass jail break during the country's 2011 uprising.
The first president to be democratically elected after the 2011 revolt, Mursi was overthrown in mid-2013 by general-turned-president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi following mass protests against his rule.
