Mohamed Morsi to discuss reconciliation process with Islamists
2013-11-08
[India Express] Ousted Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi
...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Time principle, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator...
is expected to meet a number of lawyers and political figures to discuss the progress in reconciliation between the Moslem Brüderbund and the military-backed interim government.

A delegation made up of former prime minister Hisham Kandeel, former presidential candidate Mohammed Selim al-Awa and Morsi's former vice-president Mahmoud Mekki, will meet Morsi in prison.

The court has agreed to allow visits, but has not yet determined an exact timing for it, said Mohammed el-Damati, spokesperson of the defence team of Morsi and other Moslem Brüderbund members.

Mahmoud el-Khudairy, former chairman of Legal Committee in the dissolved Parliament, said that releasing Morsi and other Brotherhood leaders would be a big step towards achieving reconciliation and political stability.

The Anti-coup Alliance, which has been demanding for the release of 62-year-old Morsi, said that it will not take any decisions on reconciliation without first holding talks with him, media reports said.

The former president will meet a number of political figures to discuss the results of the steps towards reconciliation between the Moslem Brüderbund and the current government, the reports said.

"There are still chances for reconciliation between the Brotherhood members and the government," former Minister of Justice Ahmed Mekki said.

Meanwhile,
...back at the barn, a little lightbulb figuratively appeared over Bossy's head...
lawyers who met Morsi inside the Police Academy during his first trial session tried to convince him that it is important to assign a lawyer for his defence. Morsi earlier said he will not appoint a lawyer to defend him during his trial for inciting the murder of anti-regime protesters. The next hearing in the case has been set for January 8.

Meanwhile,
...back at the mall, Clarissa spent the day shopping for new underwear. Tonight was going to be a special occasion...
Morsi's wife and two sons visited him for the first time in prison on Wednesday. During the hour-long meeting, Morsi received a bag that contained some clothes and foods, fruits, mineral water and soft drinks.
