Detained Mursi meets EU diplomat Egyptian army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi meets with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton at the defence ministry headquarters in Cairo on Monday. A top European Union official has met with ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi, who hasn't been seen in public since his removal and detention earlier this month. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton visited Dr Mursi for two hours overnight Monday and held an "in-depth discussion," Ms Ashton's spokeswoman, Maja Kocijancic, said in a Twitter message without providing additional details. Dr Mursi has been held at an undisclosed location by the military-backed interim government since his removal on July 3, sparking questions from the EU and US about his wellbeing.

The Muslim Brotherhood, which propelled Dr Mursi to the presidency last year, has called his removal a coup against an elected leader and vowed to hold protests until he's returned to office. Ms Ashton met Dr Mursi amid heightened tensions after the killing of dozens of the deposed president's supporters by security forces over the weekend. The Muslim Brotherhood is defying threats of a government crackdown by urging Mursi backers to march on security installations. The planned rallies threaten to intensity a conflict that has killed scores of people Earlier on Monday, Ms Ashton met with army leader Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and other Egyptian officials in Cairo, and held talks with members of the pro-Mursi camp. She said she would call for a "fully inclusive transition process, taking in all political groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood."
