Morsi's daughter shared two pictures of her father on her Facebook page, one while he was president and the other of him during his trial. She claimed in a comment that the one in prison does not resemble her father. CAIRO – The daughter of former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi said on Friday she is “certain” that the televised footage showing the ousted leader in prison is not of her father. Alshymaa shared two pictures of Morsi on her Facebook page, one while he was president and the other of him during his trial. She claimed in a comment that the one in prison does not resemble her father. Egypt's state television regularly airs footage of the former Islamist leader during his trails inside a cage in a makeshift courtroom in Cairo. “The one who is on the right side of the picture is my father, the one on the left is not him I'm certain. Check out well, it's not him,” her Facebook post said. Alshymaa said the pictures she chose show similar face expressions of Morsi but those who have an eye for details will be able to tell the imprisoned one is “not the president.” Morsi and other members of his Muslim Brotherhood have been under trial since the army overthrew the Islamist leader in July. They are being tried over charges that include the murder of protesters, espionage and organizing jailbreaks. Meanwhile, an Egyptian court sentenced a hardline Islamist former presidential hopeful to one year in prison on Saturday for insulting the court, state news agency MENA reported. Hazem Salah Abu Ismail is on trial for fraud in a case related to presidential elections in 2012 which brought Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood to power. Abu Ismail, who has links to the Brotherhood, was disqualified from that election after reports that his late mother had held a US passport. Under Egypt's election rules, both a candidate's parents must hold only Egyptian citizenship. During his short-lived presidential campaign, he built a passionate base of followers who broadly opposed Morsi's ousting a year later. Abu Ismail interrupted his court-appointed attorney during Saturday's session and told the judge, “I don't feel like I am before a court,” a judicial source told Reuters. – Al Arabiya/Agencies
