Egyptian Court Sentences 12 Pro-Morsi Supporters to 17 Years in Prison Each

Bail set at $9,000 for each

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's ousted President Mohammed Morsi accused the military chief who deposed him of treason in a message from prison read by lawyers on Wednesday, saying the country cannot return to stability until the coup is reversed and those behind it are tried.

The statement was part of a bid by Morsi to rally his supporters since his emergence from the secret military detention where he had been held, with virtually no contact with the outside world since his July 3 ouster.
