EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton has met with ousted 1 Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi.
Ashton and Morsi talked for two hours.
Ashton says Morsi is in good health and has access to the news.
Morsi is being detained at an undisclosed location after being ousted on July 3rd amid the massive protests against his rule.
He has not been seen publicly since his ouster.
Meanwhile, the Egyptian courts have ordered Morsi continue to be held for an additional 15 days in an investigation 2 connected to charges of spying and a jailbreak during the 2011 unrest that toppled then-president Hosni Mubarak.
Ashton is also urging Egypt's government to reach out to the Muslim Brotherhood 3.
CRI's Jordan Lee has more.
Ashton has met with military chief General Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, Vice 4 President Mohamed ElBaradei and interim 5 President Adly Mansour.
She has also met with members of activist 6 groups, including Tamarod.
Tamarud spokesman Mohamed Badr says that the group would not agree to a plan that allowed Muslim Brotherhood leaders to escape prosecution 7.
"When they asked us about the solution, the solution clearly starts from; number one: admitting that June 30th was a revolution or a wave of the revolution and admitting the legitimacy 8 of the roadmap; secondly 9, presenting all those involved in any shedding of Egyptian blood and those which were issued arrest warrants by the public prosecutor 10 to quick and just trial; thirdly, clearing out all the public squares. Only then will we all start the political process."
Ashton has also met with representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood, she asks all sides to start an inclusive transitional process, which would include the Muslim Brotherhood.
Mohammed Mahsoub is a spokesman for the Brotherhood.
"We wait to hear from those who currently hold power to start the initiative by sending messages for a truce 11 and reassurances 12 calling for an end to media campaigns which only allow for more bloodshed."
It was European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton's second visit to Cairo since Islamist President Morsi was ousted nearly a month ago.
