The acting leader of Egypt's outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, Ibrahim Munir, died on Friday, the organization said on its website.
Munir, who died in London at the age of 85, was twice jailed in Egypt in the 1950s and 1960s and has lived in exile for most of the last 40 years.
The once formidable Islamist movement won Egypt's first free presidential election in 2012, but was overthrown by the military a year later after mass protests against its rule and has endured a fierce crackdown by authorities since then.
