Former Egypt president Mohammed Morsi dies during trial
June 18, 2019 — 5.17am
Cairo: Former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, the first democratically elected head of state in Egypt's modern history, has died aged 67 after collapsing in a Cairo court while on trial on espionage charges.
Morsi, a top figure in the now-banned Muslim Brotherhood, had been in jail since being toppled by the military in 2013 after barely a year in power following mass protests against his rule.
The public prosecutor said he had collapsed on Monday in a defendants' cage in the courtroom shortly after speaking, and was pronounced dead in hospital at 4.50pm local time.
It said an autopsy had shown no signs of recent injury on his body.
After decades of repression under Egyptian autocrats, the Brotherhood won a parliamentary election after a popular uprising toppled Hosni Mubarak and his military-backed establishment in 2011.
Morsi was elected to power in 2012 in Egypt's first free presidential election, promising a moderate Islamist agenda to steer Egypt into a new democratic era.
Instead, he alienated millions who accused him of usurping unlimited powers, imposing the Brotherhood's conservative brand of Islam and mismanaging the economy, all of which he denied.
Security sources said the Interior Ministry declared a state of alert on Monday, notably in Morsi's home province of Sharqiya in the Nile Delta, where his body was expected to be taken for burial.
Morsi had been in court for a hearing on charges of espionage emanating from suspected contacts with the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, which had close ties to the Brotherhood.
His body was taken to the Tora prison hospital, state television reported.
His lawyer said Morsi's health had been poor in jail.
"We had put in several requests for treatment, some were accepted and others were not," Abdel-Menem Abdel-Maqsood said.
Morsi was serving a 20-year prison sentence for a conviction arising from the killing of protesters during demonstrations in 2012, and a life sentence for espionage in a case related to the Gulf state of Qatar. He had denied the charges.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan mourned his fellow Islamist as a martyr.
"Putting doubts aside, he has become a martyr today with the fulfilment of God's order ... Our prayers are with him," Erdogan said.
"Condolences to all my brothers who walked the same path as he did. Condolences to the people of Egypt. Condolences to his family and those close to him."
Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, a backer of Morsi and his Brotherhood, tweeted his condolences to Morsi's family "and to the brotherly Egyptian people".
