Former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi appeared in court on Sunday in a red prison uniform, the colour donned by prisoners who have been sentenced to death.
An eyewitness said that upon entering the cage where defendants are kept in an Egyptian courtroom, Morsi's co-defendants started chanting in his support.
Morsi appeared in court to stand charges of spying for Qatar, in one of the five trials he has faced since his removal in July 2013.
The former president has been convicted in three of the trials, and is still being tried in the rest.
Last Tuesday, Morsi was sentenced to death in a prison escape trial and was sentenced to life in prison for an espionage case, by the same judge.
Although the sentences are not final and can be appealed, they have been the subject of international criticism, including by the White House, the European Union, the United Nations' secretary general.
In April, he was found guilty of show of force and detention associated with physical torture of protesters during deadly protests in 2012. He was sentenced 20 years of maximum security prison.
Morsi, who became Egypt's president in June 2012 after the first democratic elections in the country, was eventually ousted at the hands of the military following mass protests against his rule, after a year in power.
His ouster was also followed by the arrests of dozens of Brotherhood leading figures, many of whom feature along his side as co-defendants in trials.
