Deposed president says through volunteer lawyers he was kidnapped by military a day before announcement of his toppling.
Egypt's deposed president, Mohamed Morsi, has said he was kidnapped by the military and those who removed him from power of committing "treason against the whole nation".
A group of volunteer lawyers, not Morsi's defence lawyers, read the message from Morsi at a news conference on Wednesday, a day after they met him in prison.
Morsi said he intended to sue the army-installed authorities, and that there can be no stability in Egypt unless "the military coup is eliminated and those responsible for shedding Egyptians' blood are held accountable".
In the letter, Morsi said he was "kidnapped" and held by the Republican Guard on July 2 - a day before he was formally removed by the military. He said he was held at a naval base for four months.
Morsi was moved to a high security prison in Alexandria on November 4 after the first session of his trial on charges of incitement to murder protesters in December 2012.
