   An Egyptian court sentenced deposed President Mohamed Mursi to   
   death on Tuesday over a mass jail break during the country's   
   2011 uprising and issued sweeping punishments against the   
   leadership of Egypt's oldest Islamic group.   
      
   The general guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, and   
   four other Brotherhood leaders were also handed the death   
   penalty.   
      
   More than 90 others, including influential cleric Youssef al-   
   Qaradawi, were sentenced to death in absentia.   
      
   The Brotherhood described the rulings as "null and void" and   
   called for a popular uprising on Friday.   
      
   The sentences were part of a crackdown launched after an army   
   takeover stripped Mursi of power in 2013 following mass protests   
   against his rule. Hundreds of Islamist have been killed and   
   thousands arrested.   
      
   The Islamist Mursi became Egypt's first freely elected president   
   after the downfall of longtime leader Hosni Mubarak in 2011.   
      
   Judge Shaaban el-Shami, said the Grand Mufti, Egypt's top   
   religious authority, had said in his opinion that the death   
   sentence was permissible for the defendants who had been   
   referred to him.   
      
   Wearing his blue prison suit, the bespectacled and bearded Mursi   
   listened calmly as Shami read out the verdict in the case   
   relating to the 2011 mass jail break, in which Mursi faced   
   charges of killing, kidnapping and other offences.   
      
   Shami had earlier given Mursi a 25-year sentence in a case   
   relating to conspiring with foreign groups.   
      
   Mursi appeared unfazed, smiling, and waving to lawyers as other   
   defendants chanted: "Down, down with military rule," after the   
   verdicts, which can be appealed, were read out at the court   
   session in the Police Academy.   
      
   The rulings mark yet another setback for leaders of the Muslim   
   Brotherhood, and increase the chances of its youth taking up   
   arms against the authorities, breaking what the group says is a   
   long tradition of non-violence.   
      
   By contrast, Mubarak is slowly being cleared of charges in cases   
   against him. He will face a second retrial over the killing of   
   protesters in 2011 and has been sentenced to three years in jail   
   over a corruption case.   
      
   If Obama was on trial there with his bullshit photoshop birth   
   certificate as evidence, they'd have him swinging from the   
   gallows as well.
