An Egyptian court sought the death penalty for former president Mohamed Morsi who was ousted from Presidency in the 2013 uprisings.
Mr Morsi and 106 other supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood are being tried for their connection with a mass jail break in 2011. Egyptian prosecutors alleged that the Bortherhood was planning of sending elements to receive training from Lebanon’s Hezbollah militants.
The court is expected to make a final ruling on June 2 reports Reuters.
The co-founder of the Muslim Bortherhood’s political wing - Freedom and Justice Party, Amr Darrag, speaking to Reuters, said,
"This is a political verdict and represents a murder crime that is about to be committed, and it should be stopped by the international community.”
