An Egyptian Criminal Court Sentence Mohammed Morsi to 20 years Imprisonment

An Egyptian Criminal Court ruling on Tuesday has sentenced one of the country’s former president, Mohammed Morsi; to a 20-year imprisonment owing to the evidence of his involvement in the circumstance like creating avenue for inhumane treatment which led to devastating public outcry during his regime as the country’s president.

Apparently, it is a long expected verdict for the Egyptian ex-president, Mohammed Morsi, the country’s first freely elected leader, who was toppled in a coup, led by a former minister of defence, President Abdel Fattah Sisi; who is now the president of Egypt.  

Morsi has been reprimanded in custody since midsummer of 2013 due to the immense attest against his government since 2012; however, there are other count charges he is bound to be faced with purposive homicide and illegal acquisition of ammunitions.

The nation’s unrest was said to have been further fuelled by Morsi’s continuous refusal to step aside as the bona fide president despite court’s ruling.  Morsi was resolute in his conviction as he made a self-defense appearance in an Egyptian court so as to speak for himself in a surveillance case. Contrary to his expectation and that of his supporters, he was largely restrained in a soundproof glass enclosure, whereby he could hardly express himself.

During this huge protest which kick-started in the year 2013 for 22 months, the Muslim Brotherhood, which was once Egypt’s popular politic movement, has been seen to have suffered serious damages and irreparable loss from a far-wander clampdown against its members resulting in various degrees of injuries and deaths by the Abdel Fattah Sisi’s led government which has since declared he Muslim Brotherhood as an Egyptian terror group.

A larger percentage of the Muslim Brotherhood were said to have been murdered during street protests at the onset of the former Islamic ex-president’s ouster, while a few others like one of the top right-hand man of Morsi was confined to life imprisonment .
