| Egypt's ousted president Morsi in prison hospital |
| 2013-11-06 |
| [Al Ahram] Security officials say Egypt's ousted 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... spent his first night in a civilian penitentiary in a hospital room after he complained he wasn't feeling well. Mubarak was on his deathbed from day to day, too. Morsi was transferred to a maximum security prison in a remote desert area near Alexandria, Egypt's second city, after his first trial session was adjourned to January 8. It was his first appearance following his July ouster. Since then, he has been held in a secret military facility. Upon arrival to the prison, the 62-year-old Morsi complained of high blood pressure and high blood sugar, officials said Tuesday, speaking anonymously because they weren't authorized to brief news hounds. They said he was taken to a prison hospital room with a separate bathroom and a TV. The Interior Ministry said he was receiving regular check-ups. |
