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.

How much human misery did Obama release on Egypt in their facebook coordinated islamist takeover? We may never know the true toll.
That’s just the human cost. They looted and destroyed museums. And Obama love the ones who did it. His nutty female ambassador was there fanning the flames.

The Eqyptians don't tolerate the muslim brotherhood while Imam Obama welcomes them with open arms.
Morsi was an Obama & Hillary stooge.
I bet Morsi wished he hadn't donated that money after all, more payback than he dreamed. hehe

Any of the attacked judges involved in this sentence against Morsi?
If so, I’d have people combing for signs that our state department contacted the muzzy brothers to coordinate such BS like they did previously when installing Morsi.
