Egypt court overturns life sentence against ex-president Mursi

None

CAIRO -- Egypt's Court of Cassation overturned on Tuesday a life sentence against deposed President Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood and ordered a retrial in the case that revolves around accusations of espionage with Palestinian group Hamas.

 

The court last week overturned a death sentence against Mursi in a separate case, meaning he no longer faces execution.

  

He remains in jail on a separate espionage conviction.
