| Morsi Accused of Leaking Egypt Security Secrets to Iran |
| 2014-02-24 |
| [An Nahar] Prosecutors Sunday accused deposed president Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... of leaking state secrets to Iran's Revolutionary Guards as part of a plot to destabilize Egypt, at the second hearing of his trial for espionage. The trial, one of three that are under way against Morsi, is part of a relentless government crackdown targeting him and his Moslem Brüderbund movement since his ouster by the army in July. Prosecutors accuse Morsi and 35 others, including leaders of the Moslem Brüderbund, of conspiring with foreign powers, Paleostinian Islamist movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and Shiite Iran to destabilize Egypt. On Sunday, the second hearing since the trial opened on February 16, they detailed the charges against Morsi and his co-defendants. They were specifically accused of "delivering to a foreign country... national defense secrets and providing the Iranian Revolutionary Guards with security reports in order to destabilize the security and stability of the country." The statement read in court did not identify the "foreign country." But prosecutors said Morsi and the defendants carried out espionage activities on behalf of the "international Moslem Brüderbund organization and Hamas with an aim to perpetrate terror attacks in the country in order to spread chaos and topple the state" from 2005 to August 2013. During Morsi's one year presidency, ties flourished between Cairo and Hamas, a Paleostinian affiliate of the Moslem Brüderbund which rules neighboring Gazoo. But since July, Egypt's military-installed government has accused Hamas of backing Morsi and his Brotherhood, and carrying out terrorist attacks inside the country. |
