Former Egyptian president Morsi 'facing premature death'

[Al Jazeera] Former Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi is being detained in standards lower than those sanctioned by international law, which could lead to an early death, a panel of British MPs and lawyers said.

In a report released on Wednesday, the Detention Review Panel (DRP), which was commissioned by Morsi's family, said the former leader is "receiving inadequate medical care, particularly inadequate management of his diabetes, and inadequate management of his liver disease".

"The consequence of this inadequate care is likely to be rapid deterioration of his long-term conditions, which is likely to lead to premature death," it said.

The panel said the conditions of his detention could meet the threshold for torture in accordance with Egyptian and international law. It added President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi "could, in principle, be responsible for the crime of torture".

#5 On the contrary; Morsi's death could never be premature.

#7 #1 I believe the original quote was "Sod off, Swampy". Just a bit more punchy.
