Former President Of Egypt Mohammed Morsi life sentence has be quashed by Egypt Court

The Court of Cassation ordered that the former president of Egypt Mohammed Morsi to be retried on the charge of conspiring to commit terrorist acts with foreign organisations.

  Last week, the court quashed a death sentence handed to Morsi in a separate case revolving around a mass prison break during the 2011 revolution.

  But he is still serving lengthy sentences related to two other
cases.
Morsi became Egypt's first democratically elected president in
2012, but he was removed by the military a year later
 after mass
protests against his rule.

 Morsi became Egypt's first democratically elected president in
2012, but he was removed by the military a year later after mass
protests against his rule.

 Since then, the authorities have launched a crackdown on
Morsi's Islamist movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, that has
seen hundreds of people killed in clashes with security forces
and tens of thousands imprisoned.

 In May 2015, Morsi and three other senior Brotherhood leaders
were sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of
conspiring with foreign organisations to destabilise Egypt.
Sixteen other people were sentenced to death in the case.

 Prosecutors alleged that the Brotherhood had hatched a plan in
2005 to send "elements" to military camps run by the Palestinian
Sunni Islamist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Shia Islamist
Hezbollah movement in Lebanon, and the Revolutionary Guards
force in Iran.

 The Brotherhood denied the charge, stressing that it was a
peaceful organisation.

 On Tuesday, the state-owned Al-Ahram newspaper reported that
the Court of Cassation had overturned the life sentences given
to Morsi and his fellow Brotherhood leaders, and also cancelled
the 16 death sentences.

 Morsi was sentenced in June to 40 years in prison after being
convicted of leaking state secrets and sensitive documents to
Qatar.
He has also been sentenced to 20 years for ordering the
unlawful detention and torture of opposition protesters during
clashes with Brotherhood supporters outside a presidential
palace in Cairo in December 2012.

 Morsi's supporters have said the trials are attempts to give legal
cover to a coup. They insist they are based on unreliable
witnesses and scant evidence.
