Fisk: Egyptian democracy fell dead beside Morsi in the cage

Robert Fisk says that democracy in Egypt fell with President-elect Mohamed Morsi in the same bombardment, and that Morsi deserves the title of president while President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who overthrew his predecessor in a military coup, is an affront to Egypt and a destroy of its experience.

"When you die in a dictator's prison - even if you were not the only elected president in Egypt - that means you were killed," he says in an article in The Independent. one way or another".

He added that it does not matter whether Morsi's death is due to solitary confinement, the prohibition of treatment or isolation, the extent of the injustice of the court, the negligibility of charges and the weight of sentences. The prisoner waits for his death every day in all cases until he obtains the freedom that President Mursi would not have received.

Fisk says he uses here the official description of Mursi because he deserves it as long as it was overthrown by a military coup. He adds: The title of the leader of the coup (Sisi) is the president as a de facto, Morsi deserved this title with honor.

Insulting Egypt
Morsi has won the second round of the presidential elections by just over 51%, while Sisi achieved more than 97% last year, which is self-explanatory. The first represents democracy and the second is an insult to Egypt and a ruin of its experience.

Fisk says Egypt's fledgling democracy has finally died in the cage, and it is therefore no surprise that Mursi's body is buried in extreme secrecy.

When the president-elect dies before his jailers in a cage used to show criminals in the courtroom, he is deprived of his son, even by a public funeral.

Cage and judges
No one can imagine the reaction of the judges at the last trial of Mursi, when the man who was elected president in 2012 collapsed in front of them.

"The judges are ready to try the man and send him to the gallows, and suddenly witness his departure to his Creator, this raises questions about the nature of those minds."

He wonders: Is it conceivable that they were surprised? The Morsi family has long been protesting the lack of medical attention, and human rights organizations have also been working for the president, who has been in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day.

He also says international media and world leaders have ignored the condemnation of all such practices, adding that Mursi was seen from the past and that his appearance before the courts from time to time was a boring serial, only when he spoke or tried to speak with his judges for five minutes before he left forever.

Fisk points out that Morsi received only three family visits during six years in solitary confinement, that his lawyer or doctor was not allowed to meet him, and that the evidence indicates that his jailers were most likely to hope for his death, as well as his judges and the only man in Egypt who does not Can be opposed.
