Hi guys!
A few days ago, I read an article on a website
called "BBC online" and it talked about
the former Egyptian president Morsi, who has
been jailed for 20 years. I want you to know more about it, so I give you a
short press review about the article.
Mohammed Morsi was the first free elected
president in Egypt. He was the successor of Hosni Mubarak.
Basically it says, that Morsi has been jailed
for 20 years, because he has ordered to arrest and torture protesters during
his tenure. He has been president of Egypt for 1 year from June 30th,
2012 till July 3rd, 2013.
It has been the first conviction since the end
of his tenure. He has been deposed by the military in July 2013. Since then,
the authorities have banned his Muslim Brotherhood movement and arrested
thousands of his supporters. Morsi and 14 other Brotherhood figures escaped a
more serious charge of inciting the killing of protesters, which could have
carried the death sentence.
Most of the other defendants were also given
20-year prison sentences. Morsi's legal team have said they will appeal.
In my opinion, is this decision equitable, because
every criminal deserves his punishment. There is always a reason, why a human
isn't longer president of a country. I'm anyway a fan of democracy, that's why
I think a dictatorship shouldn't exist anymore.
What do you mean?
