		</div><p>An Egyptian court has struck down a death sentence passed by a lower tribunal against an ousted former president for his part in a mass prison break during the 2011 uprising.</p>
<p>The Court of Cassation&#8217;s ruling means Mohammed Morsi will be given a new trial, alongside five other leaders of his now-banned Muslim Brotherhood group, whose death sentences in the same case were also quashed.</p>
<p>The court also struck down life sentences passed in the same case against 21 Brotherhood members.</p>
<p>Last month, a court upheld a 20-year sentence for Morsi on charges arising from the killing of protesters in December 2012. Morsi was ousted by the military in 2013 after just one year in office.</p>
