An Egyptian court has sentenced former
President Mohammed Morsi to death in
connection with a mass jail break in 2011.
Sitting in a caged dock, Morsi pumped his fists
in the air in defiance as the judge read his
verdict.
Another 105 other members of the Muslim
Brotherhood were also given the capital
punishment.
The defendants were all accused of plotting jail
breaks and attacks on police during the
uprising that overthrew longtime President
Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
The cases, like any capital sentence, will be
referred to Egypt's top religious authority, the
Grand Mufti, for his non-binding opinion before
any executions can take place.
Morsi, however, was spared the death sentence
by the court on charges that he and his aides
passed state secrets to foreign groups,
including Palestinians' Hamas and
Lebanon's Hezbollah, to destabilise Egypt.
But the court sought capital punishment for
Brotherhood leader Khairat el-Shater and 15
others for conspiring with foreign militant
groups against Egypt.
Muslim Brotherhood official Amr Darrag has
condemned the ruling as politically-motivated
and called on the international community to
take action.
"This is a political verdict and represents a
murder crime that is about to be committed,
and it should be stopped by the international
community," Mr Darrag told Reuters in
Istanbul.
Morsi is already serving a 20-year sentence
following his conviction on 21 April on charges
linked to the killing of protesters outside a
Cairo presidential palace in December 2012.
He became Egypt's first freely elected leader in
June 2012 in the wake of the uprising that
ousted Mubarak. But he was removed from
power by the army in 2013 after protests
against his presidency.
Sky’s Middle East Correspondent Sherine
Tadros said the verdict is significant because it
marks the first time in Egypt's history that a
president has been sentenced to death.
"Of course Mohammed Morsi will appeal this
verdict, it will be a lengthy appeal, so don't
expect he will be executed any times soon,"
she added.
The army chief who overthrew Morsi, Abdel
Fattah al-Sisi, is now president after having
won elections last year. He has pledged to
eradicate the Brotherhood, once the largest
political movement in the country.
Human rights groups have accused Egyptian
authorities of widespread abuses in a
crackdown on Brotherhood supporters as well
as secular activists, allegations they deny.

Kangaroo judgement I must say.

Perfect warning for so-called hard liners like......i reserve my comment.

Morsi sentence to death Unbelievabale! Hope this latest development won't set the whole country on fire. The guy has a huge following, and most of his followers are prone to violence and suicidal tendensies.

Political judgment...

In any case I blame Morsi and the Islamic Brotherhood for this mess.

a lesson to strong headed politicians....
thank God my clueless president conceded defeat...
if Mr Orubebe displayed had went through, which would had led to inconclusive Presidential election. APC would have use that to start an unending protests that will end up displacing GEJ.....
the world power would have end up locking GEJ up with his accomplice.... maybe in the year 2018, they will sentence him to death... just like the silly man trending on the news right now.

Good luck GEJ for using your brain and taking a decision that favours both Nigeria and YOU


GEJ MIGHT BE CLUELESS ON HOW TO RUN A COUNTRY BUT HE'S GOT CLUE ON HOW TO KEEP HIMSELF ALIVE.

How I wish our judiciary can use one ex- corrupt president as a sample.
