'He has been placed behind a glass cage (during trials). No-one can hear him or know what is happening to him. He hasn't received any visits for a months or nearly a year. He complained before that he doesn't get his medicine. This is premeditated murder. This is slow death.'

The judicial official said Mr Morsi had asked to speak to the court during the session.

The judge permitted it, and Mr Morsi gave a speech saying he had 'many secrets' that, if he told them, he would be released, but he added that he was not telling them because it would harm Egypt's national security.

Mr Morsi was held in a special wing in the sprawling Tora detention complex nicknamed Scorpion Prison.

Rights groups say its poor conditions fall far below Egyptian and international standards.
