The Cairo Appeal Court adjourned on Tuesday the appeal of former president Mohamed Morsi and 130 other defendants in the jailbreak case to 15 November. The prosecution reportedly recommended that the court accept the appeal filed by Morsi’s defence team and the other defendants; however, the recommendation is advisory and not obligatory. Morsi is a co-defendant in three other cases, including the “Qatar espionage” case and Itihadiya Palace case. On 3 July 2013, the military intervened and ousted Morsi in what the outlawed Brotherhood and foreign countries described as a “military coup”. Morsi was the first democratically-elected president after 25 January Revolution.
