Former Egyptian president Mohamed Mursi has
been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Morsi and 12 other Brotherhood members,
including senior figures Mohamed el-Beltagy
and Essam el-Erian were convicted on charges
of violence, kidnapping,torturing and killing
of protesters during demonstrations in 2012.
The presiding Judge Ahmed Sabry-Youssef said
the convicts were acquitted of murder charges
which carry the death sentence.
Morsi said he was ready to reverse what he
referred to as a military coup against him in
2013, planned by then Army Chief Abdel Fattah
al-Sisi, who is now the President.
