A death sentence on ousted ex-President Mohammed Morsi initially passed in May has been upheld by an Egyptian court, BBC reported Tuesday.
According to reports, the sentence was earlier confirmed after consultation with Egypt's highest religious figure, the Grand Mufti. BBC reported that the death sentences of five other leading members of the Muslim Brotherhood, including its supreme guide Mohammed Badie, were also upheld.
