Egyptian court puts ousted president Mursi on trial over Qatar link
[Ynet] An Egyptian court put ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi on trial on Sunday on charges of endangering national security by leaking state secrets and sensitive documents to Qatar...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... , furthering a state crackdown on his outlawed Moslem Brüderbund. Morsi, who was toppled by the army in 2013 after mass protests against his rule, remained defiant, insisting he was Egypt's legitimate president despite facing several court cases."This court does not represent anything to me," said Morsi, who was on trial with 10 other people. The maximum penalty if convicted is death. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-02-16 |
