Egypt sentences top leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood to death

[AFRICANEWS] Egypt on Monday sentenced eight members of the Moslem brotherhood to death for their role in the deadly violence of 2013, which followed the military's ouster of Mohammed Morsi, the country's first democratically elected president.

Those condemned to death by the Emergency Supreme Court of State Security sitting in Cairo included the Brotherhood's supreme guide Mohamad Badie.

Badie was the eighth Supreme Guide of the Moslem Brüderbund and led the group between 2010 and 2013, when he was arrested during the army coup against the Morsi government.

Some of the men condemned have already been sentenced to death in other cases.

The men were accused of conspiring to topple the government of Abdel Fattah el Sissi, who himself came to power after overthrowing Mohammed Morsi. They were also accused of killing coppers and destroying public property.

In July 2013, the leaders of the Moslem Brüderbund organised a massive sit-in in the Rabaa al Adawiya to denounce the the coup.

Security forces later raided the square and killed hundreds of people in a single day in what they termed a counter-terrorism operation.

Morsi died in prison in 2019.

#1 CAIRO - 15 October 2020: The release of State Department emails while Hillary Clinton was in charge has reminded Egyptians of how the U.S. policy favored the Muslim Brotherhood from 2011 until 2013 at the expense of the Egyptian people.
The emails... certainly reminded Egyptians that although the U.S. was seemingly supportive of the secular opposition in Egypt, its policy and its ambassador at the time, Anne Patterson, helped entrench a religious rule in Egypt, which cost the country a lot of money and lives to get rid of and a lot more to mend the damages. Robert Hormats, undersecretary of state for economic growth from 2009 to 2013, sent an email on Aug. 39, 2012 to Jake Sullivan, deputy chief of staff to Clinton, saying he and other U.S. officials met with Hesham Qandil, the prime minister in the government of late Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi, and other Egyptian ministers. They discussed means of reviving the Egyptian economy. Patterson did not attend but later joined the official U.S. delegation to meet with Khairat al-Shater, the Muslim Brotherhood's first choice of a president that could not run for presidency because of being a former convict. the Brotherhood wanted Morsi only in a ceremonial position when they found out Shater could not run for election, Shater and the supreme guide of the Islamist group, Mohamed Badie, were also the rulers of Egypt during Morsi's one-year rule.
