Inside Story show

Summary: A court in Egypt has upheld the death sentence against deposed president Mohamed Morsi who was sworn in as Egypt's first elected civilian president in June 2012. A leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi promised a government working for all Egyptians and a change from the days of Hosni Mubarak. But Morsi - with five other defendents - has now been sentenced to death by hanging on charges relating to a mass jail break during the 2011 revolution. So how will the sentencing be received within Egypt and around the world? And will it do more than make Morsi a martyr?
