An Egypt court has sentenced former President Mohamed Morsi to death for a mass prison break in 2011, prompting immediate condemnations from Amnesty International and the Turkish president. “Condemning Mohamed Morsi to death after more grossly unfair trials shows a complete disregard for human rights … he was held for months incommunicado without judicial oversight and that he didn’t have a lawyer to represent him,” the organisation said in a statement. The judiciary is doing its part to cement a new political reality in Egypt, one that seeks to silence all dissent and restore the full strength of the authoritarian system that was in place for decades by Abdullah al-Arian, Georgetown University, Qatar Abdullah al-Arian, assistant professor of history at Georgetown University, School of Foreign Service in Qatar, told Al Jazeera the death sentences handed down on Saturday would “come as no surprise to anyone who has been following developments in Egypt over the past two years”. “With these highly politicised trials that contravene all standards of justice, the judiciary is doing its part to cement a new political reality in Egypt, one that seeks to silence all dissent and restore the full strength of the authoritarian system that was in place for decades,” Arian said.
