Egypt’s top appeals court overturned a ruling placing 1,538 people on a government terror list, including former Islamist President Mohamed Mursi, state-run Middle East News Agency reported.
The Court of Cassation sent the case back to a lower court for reconsideration. The ruling was based on an appeal by some of the defendants, many of whom are jailed members of the banned Muslim Brotherhood organization. The list also included Mohammed Aboutrika, a prominent ex-soccer player.
