An Egyptian court has sentenced ousted president Mohamed Morsi, along with two other defendants, to life in prison on the charge of spying for Qatar.

According to the reports, on Saturday, the Cairo Criminal Court also sentenced Morsi to another 15 years in prison for a different charge in the same case.

Additionally, the court upheld the May 7 death penalty for six other co-defendants accused alongside Morsi.

All of the defendants can appeal the verdicts to the Egyptian Court of Cassation, the country's highest civil court.

Prosecutors accuse Morsi and 10 co-defendants of leaking “classified documents” to Qatar.

The documents allegedly contained secrets on “national security,” and were purportedly traded with Qatari intelligence for a million dollars.

Morsi has already been sentenced in three separate trials to death, a life term and 20 years in prison.

In May 2015, Morsi and 105 others were sentenced to death for a mass prison break in 2011 during the country’s popular uprising that led to the overthrow of long-time dictator Hosni Mubarak.
