Egypt after Morsi

Egypt’s first democratically elected civilian president Mohamed Morsi died in court yesterday after spending six years in jail. Morsi was ousted in a military coup by current leader Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi who has since returned Egypt to a military dictatorship. Held under numerous alleged charges including spying for foreign governments and attacking prison guards, the 67-year-old long complained of torture and abuse at the hands of his jailers and, as his health deteriorated in detention, his family repeatedly called for authorities to provide him health care or release him. Finally, he collapsed in court on 17 June 2019. Egypt is now bracing for a new wave of protests against the rule of Al-Sisi.
