Breaking: Ex-president jailed for life

Reports filtering in have it that ex-Egyptian president, Mohamed Morsi has been sentenced to life imprisonment. This judgment was passed by an Egyptian court on Saturday following an espionage trial in which six co-defendants were handed death penalties. Accordingly, Morsi was handed charges of supplying Qatar with classified documents and was sentenced him to life jail for leading an unlawful organisation.
According to ABC.net, Qatar was a main backer of Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood movement while he was in power between 2012 and July 2013, when the military overthrew and detained him. 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.
