Egypt's deposed Islamist President Mohammad Morsi is likely to be transferred to the same Cairo prison where former leader Hosni Mubarak is now held.

Morsi is going to jail after being accused of murder and other crimes.

Interior Minister Mohammad Ebrahim said pro-Morsi sit-ins would be dealt with based on a decision by the prosecutor.

According to Gulf News, the comments by Ebrahim came after pressed by journalists about where Morsi would be taken, he said mostly likely to Torah prison.

Torah, on the edge of Cairo, is the jail where Mubarak, his sons and members of the former president's cabinet have been held after they were detained in the wake of the uprising in January 2011, the report added.
