Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Lawyers Submit Claim to ICC
[An Nahar] Lawyers for the Moslem Brüderbund have submitted a complaint to the ICC asking it to investigate the military's alleged crimes against humanity in Egypt, they said in London on Monday.Lawyers acting for the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party said they hoped to meet with the  International Criminal Court... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ... prosecutor in the coming months to discuss opening a preliminary investigation. The lawyers told a presser they had submitted a declaration on behalf of ousted Islamist 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... accepting the ICC's jurisdiction in Egypt even though it is not a signatory, and he is no longer in power. They have also submitted a complaint detailing alleged evidence of crimes since Morsi and his Brotherhood were ousted by the military on July 3 last year. "The message must be sent out clearly to the Egyptian military regime that it runs the risk of prosecution. This is what the declaration accepting the jurisdiction aims to achieve," said lawyer John Dugard. Posted by: Fred 2014-01-07 |
