Egypt sentences former President Mursi to death
Former Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi sits behind bars with other Muslim Brotherhood members at a court in the outskirts of Cairo, December 29, 2014. Mursi and 35 other top Islamists are charged with conspiring with foreign groups to commit terrorist acts in Egypt, implicating the Palestinian group Hamas, the Shi’ite Islamist government of Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah.
An Egyptian court on Saturday transferred the case of former Islamist President Mohammad Mursi to the Grand Mufti, who must be consulted before any death sentence can be imposed.
The court also ordered the same for Brotherhood leaders Khairat al-Shater and Mohammed el-Beltagi.
