Egypt’s former president Mohamed Morsi has died suddenly following a court appearance in Cairo, according to Egyptian state television. He was 67.

The former president and Muslim Brotherhood leader collapsed after a trial session in an espionage lawsuit on Monday for alleged contact with Hamas. He had reportedly been given permission from the presiding judge to address the court before he fainted.

Morsi came to power after Hosni Mubarak was deposed in mass Arab Spring protests in 2011. However, he ruled for only a year after being elected to the post before he was toppled by the military following mass protests in 2013.

He was serving lengthy sentences on convictions of killing protesters in 2012, espionage involving Qatar, and a jailbreak. Morsi was sentenced to death in 2015 for taking part in a mass jailbreak during Egypt’s uprising in 2011. However, the sentence was overturned late the following year.


Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was among the first to express his condolences following the news of “martyr” Morsi’s passing, tweeting about his “great sadness and sorrow” at hearing of “the death of my brother.”

Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi Rajioun. May Allah(SWT) accept him as a martyr. He was denied medical care and God knows what kind of torture he went through.

Shocking news. These regimes will pay a price soon.

Very sad demise. He was removed after victory in the elections by a dictator who had support from the USA.
Sometimes the democracy alone is not enough. So it has to be discarded by the Champions of Democracy in the world.

Another Q Pakistanis should as themselves, Mursi was not convicted in any crime, he was just a political prisoner.
Did he requested treatment in London.
Why Nawaz is then allowed to spent weeks in his house on a mere complaint of stress!!
Why Nawaz a convicted criminal asking that he should be release from the jail and his charges quashed so he can have treatment in London!!
