Egypt: Mohammed Morsi Death Sentence Overturned

The highest court in Egypt has overturned a death sentence against ousted Islamist President, Mohammed Morsi. 

Morsi had been condemned to death for his part in a mass prison break during the 2011 revolution. 

He was elected President in 2012, but was later removed by the military a year later after street protests against his rule.

Morsi has separately been sentenced to life in prison for terrorism offences, and still faces trial on other charges.
