CAIRO — Egypt's ousted president Mohammad Morsi told a court on Saturday that he will refrain from eating since he cannot trust the food given to him in prison, according to reports by Aswat Masriya. Morsi claimed his life is in risk inside prison, and requested that he be referred to a medical team, due to his low blood pressure. He was present during a session in his trial on “charges of espionage.” Morsi and ten others, were accused of “leaking classified documents to Qatar concerning Egypt's intelligence services and armed forces during his one-year presidency.” The case was adjourned by the courts until Sunday. A medical team will examine Morsi by court order. In June, Morsi received death sentence for conspiring to escape from prison in 2011 as well as a 25-year sentence in an additional spy-related case. In addition, in April he was sentenced to 20 years in prison on charges of ordering violence against protesters outside the presidential palace during his time in office. — Al Arabiya News
