Morsi appeals death sentence in Egyptian court

The defence for ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi has filed an appeal against a death sentence and life-in-prison term for the former leader, a lawyer says. An Egyptian court upheld the death sentence against the former leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood in June for the alleged offences during the 2011 uprising against former president, Hosni Mubarak. The court had consulted Egypt's grand mufti, the government interpreter of Islamic law who plays an advisory role.

Egypt court grants bail to Al Jazeera journalists

An Egyptian court has granted bail to the detained Al Jazeera journalists Baher Mohamed and Mohamed Fahmy. A retrial was ordered by the country's Court of Cassation last month, overturning a lower court's verdict that had falsely found them guilty of helping the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood group. The three journalists, along with seven colleagues outside the country, were accused of spreading "false news" during their coverage of demonstrations protesting a military toppling of former president Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
