COURT RULING ON MORSI'S LIFE SENTENCE
Egypt's Court of Cassation is set to make a ruling today on an appeal by ousted president Mohamed Morsi against a life sentence imposed against him on charges of spying for Iran and a Palestinian militant group. Morsi - who was overthrown by the army in July 2013 in the face of mass protests against his one-year rule - won a reprieve from another court last week when a death sentence against him over his alleged role in prison breaks during the 2011 uprising against his predecessor, Hosni Mubarak, was overturned. The court had ordered that he be retried over those charges.
