Egypt's ousted president Mohammed Morsi 'dies in court'

Last year:

Morsi’s health ‘has deteriorated severely’

The son of ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has revealed that his father’s health has deteriorated severely, Anadolu reported on Thursday. “Many reports have emerged recently speaking about the severe deterioration of my father’s health,” said Ahmed Morsi. “The situation is unprecedented.”

Dr Mohamed Morsi, 66, has been in prison in Egypt since the military coup which ousted his democratically-elected government in 2013. His condition, claimed his son, is being “ignored” by the prison authorities.

Ahmed Morsi called upon the Egyptians, Arabs and Muslims to stand beside his father during this struggle for justice. He blamed President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, the man behind the coup, for his father’s awful condition. “He does not even receive proper medical treatment,” he pointed out.

On Wednesday, an independent British parliamentary committee announced that Morsi is locked up in Tora Prison under conditions which do not meet “Egyptian or international” standards. The committee warned that such conditions could accelerate Morsi’s death, as he is suffering from diabetes as well as liver and kidney problems.

At the beginning of March, the Committee for External Relations in the Egyptian parliament rejected a request by the British committee to visit the imprisoned former President.

Al-Sisi has been welcomed by Western governments, as well as Moscow. His regime has prosecuted Morsi on trumped-up charges, including spying with Qatar and Hamas, killing protesters and causing damage to public properties.

The great liberal hope Obama basically signed off on Morsi's death warrant and extra judicial killing, when he approved the bloody coup carried out by Sisi...

This is the reason why I don't find Trump half as appalling as the wolves in sheep's clothing liberal democrats in US, the Hillary's, Obama's, Clinton's and Biden's of this world.

Ina nilahe Wa Ina Alaihe Raajioon
 
This is very sad news. Although I do not agree with his politics at all, he was democratically elected and should have completed his term in office to facilitate a peaceful transition to democracy in Egypt. RIP Egypts first democratically elected leader.
 
inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun

secularists hated him because he was outwardly Islamic

Paid Islamic Saudi supporters criticize him because he did not implement Sharia as soon as he came to power
 
Isreal and Saudi can not allow any democracy in the middle east except for isreal.
 
Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi rajioon

May he be granted jannah for the injustice he was put through.
 
Sad news and a reminder of just how pathetic the so called Arab spring was.
 
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. May Allah(swt) destroy Sisi’s regime.

Mohamed Morsi another democratically elected leader martyred/ premeditatedly murdered !

Inna Lillah e Wa Inna Eleh e Rajeoon


May Allah the almighty bestow great comfort and forbearance to the bereaved family aswell as ikhwaan ul Muslimeen voters and supporters. Aameen.




I had few religious disagreements aswell as few policy disagreements with President Morsi but my heart bleeds with the way he got sidelined, inhumane treated he got after getting disposed and the way he was finally eliminated. Highly condemnable and very very sad indeed.




Morsi was a democratically elected President and he deserved to complete his term. He was the first democratically elected President of Egypt. Just look at where Egypt stands today economically after this undemocratic move of removing him from power.




International Establishment aswell as the local Establishment are to be blamed for this. Especially the local Power hungry Establishment who play in the hands of International Establishment.



I just wonder when will the Muslim Countries learn. Amongst democratic or relatively democratic countries only example to follow is of Bangladesh where after aIndependence/separation from Pakistan their local Establishment behaved and acted subservient to the democratically elected leaders. After years and years of continued democracy today Bangladesh is booming. MashaAllah. Here is a nation Muslim countries need to look forward to and learn.




President Morsi died physically but his legacy with continue. He will be remembered as a hero by history. I hope nation of Egypt will regard sacrifice of Morsi and will learn from this unfortunate demise and democracy returns to Egypt again.

Youngest Son of Morsi Dies from Heart Attack

The youngest son of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi died of a heart attack on Wednesday, according to local and foreign news sources.

According to Reuters, Abdallah Morsi, who was in his mid-twenties, suddenly started suffering from heath complications, namely spams, while driving in the Egyptian capital prior to being admitted to Oasis hospital in Giza.

His death was confirmed shortly afterwards by his brother Ahmed and a family lawyer.

The sudden event occurred two months after his father’s passing due to similar issues.

In June, Egyptian state TV reported that the elder Morsi fainted after a court session where he was on trial for espionage.

Morsi’s youngest son Abdallah was vocal about his father’s prison conditions. He himself was detained in November 2018 on charges of spreading false news.

Following the elder Morsi’s death, Abdallah also expressed that his father had not been allowed to be buried in the family cemetery by Egyptian authorities as per Reuters.

Former president Mohamed Morsi, who was deposed on July 2013 after mass protests against his government, had won Egypt’s first elections following the toppling of his predecessor Hosni Mubarak in 2011.

His short-term presidency is often hailed as a time of contention between secular society and the Muslim Brotherhood.

UN experts call Morsi's death in Egypt 'arbitrary killing'

Geneva (AFP) - An independent panel of United Nations experts said Friday the death of former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi in June could amount to "a state-sanctioned arbitrary killing".

"Morsi was held in conditions that can only be described as brutal, particularly during his five-year detention in the Tora prison complex," a statement said.

His death "after enduring those conditions could amount to a state-sanctioned arbitrary killing", the experts added.

Egypt's first democratically elected civilian president Morsi died in June after collapsing in a Cairo courtroom while on trial.

President Abdel Fattah-al Sisi led the military ouster of the Islamist leader in 2013 when he was head of the army.

Morsi, who belonged to the now outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, was overthrown after a tumultuous year in power.

He spent nearly six years in solitary confinement where the panel said he "was denied life-saving and ongoing care for his diabetes and high blood pressure".

The experts noted Friday that "authorities were warned repeatedly" about his deteriorating health to the "point of killing him".

"There is no evidence they (authorities) acted to address these concerns, even though the consequences were foreseeable," the statement added.

Egyptian authorities have not yet commented on the panel's findings.

Led by special rapporteur Agnes Callamard and the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, they explicitly called out Sisi's government for human rights violations in jails describing them as "intentional".

Since ascending to the presidency in 2014, Sisi's government has waged a wide-scale crackdown jailing thousands of Islamists, secular activists, and even bloggers and comedians.

The independent panel of UN experts also warned that thousands of prisoners are faced with severe health risks due to medical negligence in jail.

They listed documented reports of overcrowding, inadequate food, poor ventilation, no access to sunlight, denial of family visits as well as failure to receive medical care.

Calling Morsi's death "unlawful", the panel recommended publishing an impartial investigation of all prisoners who have died in state custody since 2012.

Amr Darrag, former international cooperation minister under Morsi and a senior Brotherhood official, welcomed the experts' findings.

"This investigation is a significant step forward in holding such regimes accountable for their actions," he said.
