Egypt sentences Mursi to three years in jail
CAIRO: A Cairo criminal court sentenced former Egyptian president Mohammed Mursi and 19 others to three years in prison on Saturday, and fined him 2 million Egyptian pounds on charges of insulting the judiciary.
Others tried by the court in the same case including leading Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah and lawmaker and television presenter Tawfik Okasha were instead given fines ranging from 30,000 to 1 million Egyptian pounds. The verdicts can still be appealed. Mursi, democratically elected after Egypt?s 2011 revolution, was overthrown in mid-2013 by then-general Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, now the president, following mass protests against his rule. He was immediately arrested and is now serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted of inciting the killing of protesters during demonstrations in 2012 and a 25-year sentence for spying for Qatar. Thousands of Islamists have been arrested and put on trial since the military ousted the divisive Mursi following mass protests demanding his resignation.The crackdown extended to other opponents of then army chief now President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who was elected a year after Mursi?s overthrow.The crackdown on the Brotherhood has sparked widespread outrage around the world as rights campaigners and governments keep criticizing the Sisi administration for the collective imprisonment of the party members. The post-Mursi crackdown has also affected many with alleged links to outlawed militant groups. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Egypt sentences Mursi to three years in jail || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
