The former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi was sentenced to life imprisonment following an espionage trial in an Egyptian court.

Mr. Morsi was deposed as Egypt’s head of state in 2013 following intense public demonstrations against his rule and religious policies. He was one of seven people sentenced for allegedly passing state secrets to Qatar, according to The Independent newspaper in the United Kingdom.

Amnesty International condemned all these trials as “fundamentally unfair.” Included within these trials were two Al Jazeera journalists who were sentenced to death in absentia.

Prior to this trial, Mr. Morsi was already sentenced to death and life imprisonment in separate court cases, according to the BBC.

The verdict of Mr. Morsi’s trial follows intense criticism from the public that the Egyptian judicial system is corrupt. The BBC reports that “tens of thousand of people are believed to have been jailed by Egyptian authorities, most of them supporters of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood.”http://saharareporters.com/2016/06/18/former-egyptian-president-mohammed-morsi-sentenced-life-prison

Wow. I know this type of thing can never happen in Nigeria. We have our past evil leader walking the street free

our judiciary should do d needful in nigeria oo.

Hmm... in sane and organized societies this is possible but not in a tribalised and politicised nation like mine filled with hypocrites and people only after their selfish aggrandisement and the protection of the group they represent

How I wish most of these pot-bellied heartless politicians of ours be dumped in prison for life to clear up the offensive odour emanating from their corrupt lives.

yes soooo

Morsi once the president of Egypt,.did not render Egypt's military useless or destroy the economy through corruption yet, he gets a life sentence. If it were to be in Nigeria, half of the population will be creaming witch hunting or vendetta. Many more will be saying, why jail such a big man life.This is a lesson to all, GEJ be warned.Gej should be probe.
