Egypts 1st democratically elected president has died after collapsing in court while on trial on espionage charges Egyptian State t. V. Says Mohamed Morsi had a heart attack the 70 the 67 year old Muslim Brotherhood leader had been in prison since 2013 when he was toppled. In power in a statement the Muslim Brotherhood says it holds president. And his government responsible for what it calls the planned criminal killing of morsi his son says egyptian authorities have refused permission for morsy to be buried at the family plot human rights activists say more medical condition was ignored by egyptian authorities and harsh conditions in solitary confinement could have led to a premature death explains. A death that human rights activists have called tragic but predictable and what former egyptian president Mohamed Morsy supporters say is a model 17 june 29000. 00 morsi appeared in court for a trial on charges of espionage he asked a judge if you could speak to in the session in what is now his final address morsi demanded a special tribunal and better trial conditions the public prosecutors say the 67 year old man collapsed and died in a defendants cage. Unless all of us a little help the via a medical source has revealed the details of the medical condition of Mohamed Morsi who died monday afternoon due to a surprise heart attack during a Court Session for the espionage case the source added that morsi had continued to receive medical care and that there was no neglect to his medical condition in and out of a percent of the sort. But human Rights Groups say egyptian authorities ignored multiple warnings about morsi untimely death because of inhumane prison conditions that he was singled out for mistreatment. In the 1st 4 years of his detention you had exactly who. He was held in solitary confinement for nearly the entire time he was tension he never received the medical care that he asked for he was not allowed to have the food and medicine provided by his family that virtually all other prisoners in egypt are able to access last year a panel of british politicians and lawyers said treatment in prison was so bad that it could amount to torture. A project that if you didnt get the appropriate medical treatment he may very well have a premature death and of course rise out of. Torture is a crime of universal jurisdiction and we found that the responsibility for that would sit all the way up the egyptian chain of. Come on now here are the more they are worth a lot of air and the man who sits at the top of the chain of command is egypts current leader preston uphill for the c. C. The former army chief ousted morsi in a military coup in 2013 and since then has locked up thousands of people as Political Prisoners this is the outcome that the Egyptian Government kinds wanted for years or morsi and also for other brotherhood leaders like minor. They dont want necessarily to execute people because of. The execution it would create but they want. There now calls for an International Investigation into morsi Steffen Court while his life in prison seemed entirely north by the one pocket book the aljazeera. Our challenge looks at the rise and fall of a lot of morsi. Mohamed morsi sailed into the presidency of egypt on the winds of a peoples revolution demanding change in 2012 he became egypts 1st ever democratically elected president the 1st civilian to hold the office morsi was born in 1901 he spent his adult life 1st as an engineering professor then as a member of parliament and a political prisoner the egyptian revolution in 2011 set the stage for morsi to reach the pinnacle of power from the start of his critics accused him of placing his allegiance with the Muslim Brotherhood and not the country morsi made a point of repeatedly promising to be a president for all egyptians his opponents however claim he tried to consolidate his power by giving himself forethought see above the judiciary and dominating the governments with Muslim Brotherhood members. Morsi said his actions were to combat counter revolutionary forces led by the socalled deep state that wanted to kill. Egypts nascent democracy those forces included members of the military as well as regional powers namely the u. A. E. And saudi arabia who were vehemently opposed to the arab spring and june 23rd seen in scenes reminiscent of the revolution huge crowds of egyptians filled square calling for their president to step down it was a culmination of the tower of Rebel Campaign a movement which was born a few months prior and was later revealed to being supported by abu dhabi morsi supporters took to the streets to which emboldened him and he refused to step down instead he made an offer of National Reconciliation including forming a new government of technocrats that offer was rejected by the army which days later deposed him ending egypts historic but brief experiment with democracy stripped of the title of president morsi swiftly became a political prisoner once again he was ultimately tried and sentenced to death for allegedly working with Foreign Armed groups and crossing a mass jailbreak when guards or killed. Numerous human Rights Groups as well as british parliamentarians and his family complained of intentional medical neglect and warns that morsi is imprisonment conditions would lead to his death if not improved to the end morsi was defiant rejecting the Courts Authority and insisting he was the legitimate president of egypt elected by the people. Now the secretary general of the Muslim Brotherhood has told aljazeera that he fears Security Forces will bury morsi in cairo late at night denying him a proper funeral or sect on the heavily only home has in place of course this is a sad day not only for the muslim brothers but also for the egyptian people and for his family and for arabs and muslims and especially for the Palestinian People who witnessed how morsy stood with them in the war theres no doubt that history will remember it as a day morsi was martyred after he was killed by the military coup. Is the head of the Egyptian Revolutionary Council which was the Main Organization advocating for morsi to be reinstated as president she says morsi is condition has deteriorated over the years. He was in solitary confinement he suffered from diabetes he lost sight in one of my and we made this public through the press conferences that we held as the Egyptian Revolutionary Council alongside with other human rights organizations and lawyers at something Human Rights Watch has pointed to we sent letters and met with policymakers and with agencies of the United Nations there was sympathy but very little action on the part of the International Community but more importantly no response from the egyptian regime which we hold responsible for whats happened to dr morsi responsibility goes to the highest level of the state to see himself to the Security Forces and the judiciary that is an arm of the military they are all responsible for whats happening to political dissidents and today to egypts 1st democratically 1st democratically elected president on mosques and tacky will hold funeral prayers form have been morsi on shes day and president rushed up to a better one has paid his iron pastoral. In our eyes Mohammed Morsi is a martyr who lost his life while he fought for the cause he believed history will never forget the tyrants who put him in prison threaten them with the Death Penalty and caused his martyrdom we formed a close friendship with him before he was a link to this president and preserved it afterwards morsi who was put on trial by a court established by the Code Administration and simplest him to death davis last breath in a courtroom and this is a symbol of the cruelty inflicted upon him and his people for years. And the emir of qatar shake to member in a mud outearn he has tweeted we have received with deep sadness the news about the sudden death of former president dr Mohamed Morsi i send my sincere condolences to his family and to the egyptian people or protesters in new york have demonstrated to show their anger at their cities death people also demonstrators in turkeys largest city istanbul they followed calls from the Muslim Brotherhood for egyptians living abroad to march in front of embassies to condemn his death dalia fahmy is an associate professor of Political Science at Long Island University and author of egypt and the contradictions of liberalism she says the lack of International Reaction is telling. What we have heard out of the United Nations the United States the european leaders is silence and so the question is why is there not a call for the independent investigation of the death every world leader at the hands of another now a few months ago on this very program when i when i was asked about well president micron has said that. The Human Rights Violations will need to be accounted for well then why still france still selling great amounts of arms to egypt more so than any other western nation why does President Trump here in the United States continue to say c. C. Is doing a great job even in terms of the war on terror hes failing and so the question is if western nations continue to see stability in the region through the iran handed fist what were asking ourselves is this really reality hes failing in the war on terror hes failing in terms of domestic stability and this leaves the death of a world leader in a prison indicates that the democratic aspirations of egyptians and arabs in general are not only lost but are no longer part of the agenda of the west towards the middle east. Well the nov 27th spoke about the conditions of his imprisonment he said he had no access to his lawyers or medical treatment. Since the 20th of september ive been in prison and ive been isolated there at the last minute in front of me i tried to speak to the court about different problems but the court decided not to hear or see me after so many days when they turn on the lights it was very painful i cant see the court except in shadows sometimes i hear the written ases and sometimes i dont but im speaking very clearly ive got a lot to say to the court i havent seen a doctor and i havent seen my lawyers i have a right to be seen and to be present i am in a very very bad situation if you treat me in this way i am hamad morsi im extremely worried about egypt.

The United States is sending about 1000. 00 more troops to the middle east the announcement comes just hours after the u. S. Military released new pictures that it says shows the Iranian Military removing an unexploded mine from a japanese arent vessel it was one of 2 oil tankers hit by explosions last week how does or castro has more. The u. S. Military says these newly released photos taken from a Navy Helicopter show. Members of irans revolutionary guard removing an unexploded mine from the side of a Japanese Oil Tanker thered been an earlier explosion on that tanker and another ship last week in the gulf of oman iran denies involvement but on monday night the pentagon announced it was sending approximately 1000. 00 additional troops to the middle east by and large when you look at the overall side of u. S. Military forces are small measure its designed to send a message but its also designed to notch this is nowhere near what you need for an invasion or a war in a statement u. S. Acting secretary of defense Patrick Shanahan said the United States does not see a conflict with iran the action today is being taken to ensure the safety and welfare of our military personnel working throughout the region and to protect our National Interests the u. S. Relationship with iran has deteriorated rapidly since President Trump withdrew from the 2015 Nuclear Treaty citing irans engagement in this whole development and supporting proxy armies since that the us has imposed and ever tightening noosed of economic sanctions on iran washington calls it a campaign of maximum pressure but even leaders have been promoting another term maximum restraint you have seen that already in the last days recalled for the maximum restraint i think back to a particular wisdom have been the words that secretary general of the United Nations but that is what he says that the world cannot afford another crisis especially in an area like that irans decision to increase your radio production has led some in the u. S. To hughes tehran of nuclear blackmail washington flexing its military might only add to the tension and the fear of confrontation heidi joe castro aljazeera washington. Well earlier we spoke to my experiment thought whos the author and editor of grey zone project dot com an online news website dedicated to original Investigative Journalism and analysis he says the message from the us is that they intend to continue escalating the crisis. Every step possible these 1000 troops are actually complementing 10000 troops that were authorized along with Patriot Missile batteries last month and what the u. S. Is doing is stepping up its maximum pressure strategy in a show of force thats part of a 2 year long undeclared war on iran that includes what Iranian Foreign minister zarif has it correctly called financial terrorism and at this point iran feels cornered it is taking its own measures to respond and i think were in an extremely dangerous scenario where a conflict could break out something that extreme elements of the Trump Administration might actually be excited for i think it is likely that iran if it hasnt already responded will respond to brutal sanctions trump implementing a sabotage team on iran hashing out plans to sabotage irans electricity grid stoking tensions inside iran through the peoples m e k this fanatical group which is actually put Trumps National security advisor john bolton on its payroll and i think theres no way to deny that the Trump Administration has embarked on a strategy of regime change which iran will never accept and thats why i think its such a dangerous scenario right now.

Now police in hong kong have changed their position on mass protests against a controversial extradition bill no longer referring to them broadly as riots sarah clarke has the latest from hong kong. Cortices have had a window overnight of the Police Commissioner here in hong kong last night at a press conference declared wins days gathering not as a riot as previously mentioned instead he said a minority of those protesting will be charged with related offenses now this simply categorizing it as a riot meant heftier penalties for those protesters instead he says. People on the front line the protesters on the front line who held the metal barricades and the metal rods who were confronting police that were the ones who are now being charged 32. 00 protesters were arrested 5 for writing related charges and 10 for Violent Crimes now this is a win for those protesters because they had tricky demands number one they wanted the extradition bill withdrawn altogether they want to carry it to be to stand a number 3 they didnt want wednesdays gathering to be categorized as i write simply because it incurred those heavier penalties now as for hong kongs chief executive kerry lamb we havent seen her publicly since saturday on saturday she held that press conference where she announced the suspension of the bill on sunday she issued a statement study i public apology but weve seen no public gathering also certainly no public speaking from kerry lamb since saturday last night around 1000 protesters marched to her office which is around on my right hand side today shes meant to be holding a Media Briefing its a regular tuesday event here in hong kong where yet to determine if shell hold a press conference and make the media once again but here in hong kong were led to the Council Building all those Council Meetings have been canceled today as have all the executive Council Meetings today so the next step will be whether or not carrie lam fronts the media. All those protests have been coordinated through social media demonstrators have used technology to spread word about their actions and many of them have also learned how to cover their digital tracks from mcbride reports. Mostly young and technologically savvy these protesters are experts at using social media to organize themselves but theyre also aware the tech tools theyre using can be used to trace them eunice is a College Student who took part in wednesdays mass protest that ended in violence since then shes being careful to stay digitally dark deleting messages and chats from her phone afraid that police could use them against her they try to have in her life phones are they will know what the lestat said he said what the list of the other people is what they feel are teenagers like other protesters when she travels she doesnt use her travel swipe card which is linked to the individual owner instead buying single journey tickets activists using popular messaging apps like telegram are careful to a raise their conversation straight afterwards and turn off the tracking functions on their phones its fueled the debate here about what you can say online in a society that allows Free Expression in hong kong as elsewhere its a crime to incite someone to violence but what happens if you simply encourage others to join a protest that then becomes violent anyone who attended and talks about it online is potentially in trouble and always have to understand for us technologist that nothing is absolutely secure. In especially if you are facing a very technically savvy police force and so on they awarded to study need to you have to be careful stella another student knows that her worried parents persuaded her not to attend wednesdays protest. So she worked from home on her device and helped by putting different groups in touch with each other although again oh yes im scared but it wont stop me from doing it there why important things and that there are people struggling on the front line and i feel like i owe it to.
