Court sentences ousted president, Brotherhood leaders to death

An Egyptian court sentenced deposed president Mohammed Morsi to death on Tuesday for killing, kidnapping and other offenses during a 2011 mass jailbreak.

The General Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, and four other Brotherhood leaders were also handed the death penalty. More than 80 others were sentenced to death in absentia.

Earlier on Tuesday, the court sentenced Morsi to life in prison in a separate case related to conspiring with foreign groups.
