He and 12 other Brotherhood members, including senior figures Mohamed el-Beltagy and Essam el-Erian, were convicted on charges of violence, kidnapping and torture stemming from the killing of protesters during demonstrations in 2012. They were acquitted of murder charges, which carry the death sentence.
Displaying a four-finger salute symbolising resistance to the State's crackdown on Islamists, defendants chanted "God is Greatest".
Following mass protests against his rule, Morsi was toppled in 2013, in what he describes as a military coup staged by the then army chief, now President, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
President Sisi proceeded to crush the Brotherhood, which he says is part of a terrorist network that poses an existential threat to the Arab and Western worlds. The Brotherhood denies this claim, saying it is a peaceful movement that will return to office through people power, even though demonstrations have reduced drastically.
