| 2015-06-18 |
| [AA.TR] A French government official has refused to comment on the Egyptian court's decision to sentence to death Egypt's first democratically elected president Mohammed Morsi. "We cannot comment a decision given by the Egyptian justice [system]," Stephane Le Foll, the French government's front man told news hounds on Wednesday following the weekly government meeting. "No skin off our national fore!" Separately, the French Foreign Ministry's front man Romain Nadal did say in a statement: "We noted the decision. La Belle France recalls once more that it stands against the death penalty." An Egyptian court on Tuesday sentenced former President Mohammed Morsi to death on jailbreak charges. The court also sentenced five leaders of the Moslem Brüderbund, including top leader Mohammed Badie, to death on charges of taking part in a mass jailbreak in 2011. |
