Egypt 's Deposed Leader, Mohammed Morsi Gets 20 Years Prison Sentence.

Mohamed Morsi, the deposed president of Egypt, was sentenced to 20 years in prison by an Egyptian court on Tuesday, in the first verdict handed down in any of the criminal cases brought against him after the military ousted him in 2013.

According to Ajazeeral,Mr. Morsi and a dozen other defendants were convicted of inciting violence and directing illegal detentions and torture. The charges stemmed from a night of bloody street fighting between Mr. Morsi’s supporters and opponents outside the presidential palace in December 2012. All of the defendants were members of his administration or Islamists from the Muslim Brotherhood, which supported him.

Judge Ahmed Sabry Yousef, who issued the ruling, did not explain his reasoning.read more
