Egypt's Ousted President Morsi Jailed For 20 Years by Obijulius: 9:59am On Apr 21, 2015 |
A court in Egypt has sentenced former President Mohammed Morsi to 20 years in prison over the killing of protesters while he was still in power. It is the first ruling he has faced since his ousting and is one of several upcoming trials he faces. Mr Morsi was deposed by the army in July 2013 following mass street protests against his rule. Since then, the authorities have banned his Muslim Brotherhood party and arrested thousands of his supporters. Mr Morsi and several other Muslim Brotherhood leaders were accused of inciting supporters to kill a journalist and opposition protesters in clashes outside the presidential palace in late 2012. Members of the Muslim Brotherhood and supporters of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi scuffle with an anti-Morsi protester during clashes outside the presidential palace on December 5, 2012 in Cairo Morsi was convicted of inciting the killing of protesters line Morsi's trials This court case is one of several upcoming trials Mr Morsi faces. They include: Colluding with foreign militants in a plot to free Islamists in mass prison breaks during the 2011 uprising against Hosni Mubarak Espionage and conspiring to commit terrorist acts in Egypt with the Palestinian movement Hamas, Lebanon's Hezbollah and Iran's Revolutionary Guards Endangering national security by leaking state secrets and sensitive documents to Qatar via the Doha-based Al Jazeera network Mr Morsi was toppled by the army after mass street protests against his rule As crowds grew outside the palace, Mr Morsi ordered the police to disperse them. They refused, so the Muslim Brotherhood brought in their own supporters. Eleven people died in the ensuing clashes, mostly from the Brotherhood. Ahead of the verdict, the Brotherhood accused one-time army chief and now President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi of using the judiciary "as a weapon". Mr Morsi himself has rejected the authority of the courts, shouting during his first trial that he was the victim of a military coup. On Monday, a court sentenced 22 Muslim Brotherhood supporters to death for an attack on a police station in Cairo, part of an ongoing crackdown against the Brotherhood.

which jail? A jail of just retirement. If they mean business let them move people of his kind to panti or kirikiri. Instead of 20years retirement enjoying three square meal,soft bed,and cool ventilation |

This is the culmination of an American & jewish orchestrated crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood. The Arab revolution which ousted Mubarak totally backfired when Egyptians elected Islamic fundamentalists. The Muslim Brotherhood had always been in the shadows since the days of Anwar Sadat, the last thing the Americans wanted was some Islamic radicals controlling arab's biggest country and posing potential threats to the jewish state. Sorry Mr Morsi, your sentence is clearly disproportionate, they want you and your supported gone for a very long time. Next time don't try to govern state with Islam. Don't forget to carry along a copy of the Qaran, I'm sure you'd have ample time in your jail call to digest the teachings of Allah & his |

Basildvalour:Nigeria is a lot more complex and too immature to try this. Perhaps much later in the future. |
