The family of Mohammed Morsi, who was ousted in a coup from his presidency earlier this month, has claimed the army abducted him.
"We are taking local and international legal measures against Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, the leader of the bloody military coup, and his putschist group," his daughter Shaimaa Morsi told reporters in Cairo.
His son Osama Morsi said, that what is going on “is a violation of human rights and a scandal in every sense of the word," and said the family had no contact with the former president.
Amidst global calls for his release, including from the US, Egypt’s interim authorities have claimed he was being held in a “safe place”.
