Former president Mohammed Morsi has been put “under guard” since he was ousted on Wednesday night, an army spokesman said on Friday.
“Morsi is under guard at the Republican Guards Club after Wednesday,” army spokesman Colonel Ahmed Ali told the Daily News Egypt.
Al-Jazeera broadcast Morsi’s interview after Minister of Defence
Abdul Fatah Al-Sisi’s announcement that he had been ousted. In the 22-minute video Morsi remained defiant and emphasised his legitimacy saying: “I am the president of the republic and I am keen on this legitimacy.”
