| Morsi's son killed by lethal injection: Lawyers |
| 2020-09-09 |
| [PRESSTV] A law firm representing the family of Egypt’s late former president Mohammed Morsi concludes that the death of his youngest son, Abdullah, last year was caused by injection of a "lethal substance." "Information now disclosed appears to confirm that Abdullah was transported in his car a distance of more than 20 kilometers (12 miles) to a hospital after he took his last breath, as a result of having been injected with a lethal substance," said a statement by the London-based Guernica 37 International Justice Chambers. "He was not transferred to nearby hospitals, intentionally, until after he had died," added the statement cited by the Middle East Eye (MEE) news and opinion website. The Egyptian government claimed the 25-year-old had died of a heart attack while driving. The law firm said, "It is quite clear that certain elements of the state were aware of this fact that is only now coming to light." Prior to his death, Abdullah had named several individuals, including current Interior Minister Mahmoud Tawfiq and Mohammed Shereen Fahmy, the judge who oversaw the Morsi's trial, as "accomplices" in the "liquidation of the martyr, President Morsi." |
