Top appeals court overturns decision placing Morsi, Aboutrika on terror list: The Court of Cassation overturned yesterday a ruling placing ousted president Mohamed Morsi, retired football star Mohamed Aboutrika, and hundreds more on the terror list. The court also sent the case back to a lower court for a retrial. The defendants had initially been placed on the watchlist for their alleged connections to the Ikhwan. Aboutrika’s legal status remains unchanged and he is still on the terror list from a separate criminal court ruling from April, lawyer Mohamed Osman said, Ahram Online reports. The story is topping coverage of Egypt in the foreign press this morning, with Bloomberg, Sputnik and Xinhua among those taking note.
