US 'Deeply Concerned' Over Morsi Death Sentence (State Dept official defends terrorists)
VOA News ^ | May 17, 2015 6:42 AM

The United States says it is "deeply concerned" about the death sentences handed down to former President Mohamed Morsi and more than 100 other defendants for a 2011 mass prison break.

"We have consistently spoken out against the practice of mass trials and sentences, which are conducted in a manner that is inconsistent with Egypt's international obligations and the rule of law," a State Department official said Sunday.

The sentences were handed down Saturday in a Cairo court.

The Grand Mufti, Egypt's top religious authority, will make the final decision on the sentences on June 2.

The former president is also facing espionage charges.

A lawyer for Morsi said he would appeal his client's death sentence.

Muslim Brotherhood supporters called for protest against Morsi's death sentence.

The Cairo court also issued a separate verdict against several top Muslim Brotherhood leaders for conspiring with the Hamas and Hezbollah groups in organizing the prison break.

Judge Shaaban el-Shami was the one who gave the death sentence. I’m sure he has top level security which is why other judges were attacked.

Just last June the Judge that sentenced Saddam Hussein to death was captured and executed by ISIS so Shaaban el-Shami knows he is a target.

Oh, the U.S. isn’t too upset about it.

Precedent Biraq Hussein however IS a bit upset that one of his Muzzie Brotherhood Brothers was removed from power and a sane person took charge.

I am so concerned about his death sentence that I can not eat, sleep nor understand this horrific act against this kind gentleman of peace.

NOT REALLY!!! The man was and is a murdering, religious and fanatic slug. That is slug as in the phylum mollusca and not the lead variety.

The earth will be a little better with his passing.

The US State Department is always on the same side as America’s enemies.

Their real ‘concern’ is that they can see that happening to themselves when the time comes.

“The United States says”

Wrong. The obama administration says. Learn to tell the difference.

I’ll bet there are still a lot of interesting emails to and from Hillary still on Morsi’s computer but not on the Hildibeast’s server. Just Sayin

Could be some good Ben Gazi stuff in there too. Obama had better not protest too much.
