CAIRO, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- Egypt's Court of Cassation on Monday overturned the death sentence of former President Mohamed Morsi, who now faces a new trial linked to the Arab Spring uprising that rocked the country in 2011.
The court reversed a lower court's ruling from June 2015 to sentence Morsi to death for his involvement in jailbreaks and mass protests during uprisings in 2011 that removed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
