Egypt’s military rulers have come under intensifying international pressure to allow access to Mr. Morsi, who has been held incommunicado, in an unknown location, by the military since he was removed from power by Gen. Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi, the defense minister, on July 3. Instead, an investigating judge, Hassan Samir, ordered him held for 15 days for an investigation into espionage charges, which human rights advocates say appear to be political in nature. Mr. Morsi escaped the Wadi Natroun prison after being held for two days by the government of President Hosni Mubarak during the 2011 uprising against his rule, according to state media.
