CAIRO, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- An Egyptian appeals court upheld a 20-year prison sentence Saturday for ousted President Mohamed Morsi, convicted of inciting violence during a 2012 demonstration.
The decision by the Court of Cassation, Egypt's highest appellate court, is final and cannot be further appealed, but it can be overturned by a presidential pardon. The court also upheld verdicts against eight co-defendants, including seven who received the same sentence.
