(35 minutes later) | |
The family of the ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi has accused the army of abducting him. | |
His daughter Shaimaa told a news conference in Cairo that the family was taking legal measures against the army. | |
Mr Morsi has been held at an undisclosed location, without charge, since being ousted from power on 3 July. | |
The family said it held the military responsible for the former leader's "safety and security". | |
The statement is the first from Mr Morsi's family since he was deposed from office. | |
"We are taking local and international legal measures against Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, the leader of the bloody military coup, and his putschist group," Shaimaa Morsi told reporters. | |
Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood movement has refused to recognise the new military-backed administration. | |
