Human rights organizations issued a statement on the first anniversary of the death of the late Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, saying that no one believed that his death was normal, a note that he spent six years in solitary confinement in harsh conditions of detention.
The statement stressed that what he described as Morsi’s murder requires serious and impartial international investigation by the United Nations, provided that the investigation includes the violations he suffered throughout his years of imprisonment, since his arrest and enforced disappearance.
And human rights organizations indicated that the deliberate medical negligence inside the Egyptian prisons and detention centers continues, and systematically kills the political prisoners, according to the statement.
The statement added that these violations are crimes that are not subject to statute of limitations.
Among the signatories to the statement are the Adalah Foundation, the Al-Shehab Center, and Peace International.
Morsi - described as the only democratically elected president in the history of Egypt - fell unconscious in the courtroom on June 17, 2019, and the authorities later announced his death from a heart attack.
