Description | An Egyptian court has pronounced death sentences on ousted president Mohammed Morsi and more than 100 other people over a mass prison break in 2011.
Morsi is already serving a 20-year prison term for ordering the arrest and torture of protesters while in power.
Egypt's religious authorities will now have to give their opinion before the sentence can be carried out.
Morsi's supporters from his Muslim Brotherhood movement have described the charges against him as "farcical". |
