This judgment was passed by an Egyptian court on Saturday following an espionage trial in which six co-defendants were handed death penalties.

The former president had been sentenced to death in a separate trial for his alleged role in prison breaks and attacks on police stations during the 2011 uprising that overthrew veteran strongman Hosni Mubarak. And had also received a life sentence and a 20-year jail term in two other trials.
