An Egyptian court on Tuesday confirmed the death sentence of former president Mohamed Morsi. He was sentenced last month along with 100 others in connection with a 2011 mass prison escape.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says he is deeply concerned by Egypt's decision. The UN chief’s office released a statement Tuesday saying the UN is against punishment of death in all cases.
