Washington (CNN) -- State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki called Friday for the release of ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy from detention, marking the first time the United States has made such a call.
Psaki said the detentions of Morsy and members of the Muslim Brotherhood were "politically motivated" and urged the military to let them go.
Morsy, the nation's first democratically elected president, was ousted on July 3 by the Egyptian military.
