August 15, 2013 18:52

An Egyptian court today extended for 30 days the detention of deposed Islamist President Mohamed Morsi, who is being held at an undisclosed location on allegations of murder and spying, besides collaborating with Palestinian group Hamas.

A Cairo appeal court today ordered the renewal of 62-year-old Morsi's detention for 30 days pending investigations into his suspected collaboration with Hamas.

Morsi is facing charges of collaborating with Hamas in attacks on police stations and prison breaks in early 2011 during the uprising against former president Hosni Mubarak.

Egypt's first democratically elected leader, Morsi was ousted by the army on July 3 after mass protests against him\ on the anniversary of his election. He has been held by the army at an undisclosed location since then.
