Egypt's Mohammed Morsi sentenced to 20 years in jail

Egypt's first democratically elected president Mohamed Morsi was jailed for two decades on Tuesday, charged in connection with deadly violence outside his palace in 2012.

It was the first of five verdicts against the former Egyptian president. He could yet face the death penalty over accusations of espionage.

Mr Morsi and 12 other defendants, among them senior officials in the Muslim Brotherhood, were sentenced to 20 years in jail for involvement in the arrests and torture of protesters during his rule.

But the court acquitted Mr Morsi of murder charges that could have seen him sentenced to death over the killings of a journalist and two protesters during clashes outside his Cairo presidential palace in 2012.

He may as well start attacking them like he did Libya. Obama should be tried for war crimes.

Perhaps we can arrange for an adjoining cell for both odumbo and Morsi. 20 years of “companionship” should make them both happy campers.

I believe Obama cannot step foot in Egypt for fear of being arrested for continuing to support a terrorist group.

Thanks for posting the sentiments of the Egyptians in pictures. Too bad our media will not show any of this.
