Muslim Brotherhood says verdicts against Mursi 'null', calls for popular uprising
2015-06-17
[REUTERS] Egypt's Moslem Brüderbund said court verdicts in which former Islamist President Mohammed Mursi and others were sentenced to death on Tuesday were "null and void".
Unless there's a "popular uprising" pretty quick it's just another egg-on-your-face exercise. Probably they have clerics and agents and what have you in place to try and engineer a "popular uprising," but I'm guessing the Egyptian security forces will be busy rounding them up for a few days or weeks and the courts will be handing out death sentences in batches.
The group also called for a "popular uprising" on Friday in a statement on its Facebook page.

"The Brotherhood calls on the honorable among this nation to participate in a popular uprising next Friday against the death sentences, detentions, kidnappings, and forced disappearances," the group said.

#1  Hope El Sissi squashes these folks like the cockroaches they are. Egypt has no chance at all if these sorts aren't completely crushed.
