Court ruling on Morsi's life sentence

Egypt's cassation court will rule today on an appeal by ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi against a life sentence on charges of spying for Iran and a Palestinian militant group. Last week, a court overturned a death sentence against him and ordered a retrial on the charges of taking part in prison breaks during the 2011 uprising. Morsi was overthrown by the army in response to mass protests against his one-year rule in July 2013.
