An Egyptian court today upheld the life sentence against ousted president Mohamed Morsi in what is known as the Qatar espionage case.<br/><br/>The Court of Cassation, Egypt's highest appeal court, rejected the former president's appeal and said the ruling is final and unappealable. The state-run MENA news agency reports that the court also confirmed death sentences of three prominent members of the Muslim Brotherhood in the same case. <br/><br/>Life sentence in Egypt is 25 years in prison. Morsi received the original sentence in June 2016 after being found guilty of using his post to leak classified documents to Qatar and selling them to al-Jazeera channel.<br/><br/>The documents allegedly include information on general and military intelligence, armed forces and state policy secrets which harm the national security. The final decision of the court will be announced on November 25 which involves 20 defendants. However, the verdict can be appealed.
