Egypt’s Former President Morsi Dies in Court : State TV | News | teleSUR English

Egypt’s former President Mohamed Morsi died after fainting during a court hearing.

Former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has died in court, state television reported Monday.

It said Morsi had fainted after a court session and died afterward. He was pronounced dead at 4:50 pm local time according to the country’s public prosecutor.

“He was speaking before the judge for 20 minutes then became very animated and fainted. He was quickly rushed to the hospital where he later died,” a judicial source said.

“In front of Allah, my father and we shall unite,” wrote Ahmed, Morsi’s son on Facebook.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan paid tribute to Morsi saying, "May Allah rest our Morsi brother, our martyr’s soul in peace.”

According to medical reports, there were no apparent injuries on his body.

Morsi, who was democratically elected after the popular ouster of Hosni Mubarak, was toppled by the military led by coup leader and current President Abdul-Fattah el-Sissi in 2013 after protests against his rule.

“We received with great sorrow the news of the sudden death of former president Dr. Mohamed Morsi. I offer my deepest condolences to his family and Egyptian people. We belong to God and to him we shall return,” Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani wrote on Twitter.

The United Nations spokesperson Stephane Dujarric offered condolences to his supporters and relatives.

State television said Morsi, who was 67, was in court for a hearing on charges of espionage emanating from suspected contacts with the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, which controls the Gaza strip that is under blockade by the current Egyptian government and Israel.

He was facing at least six trials for politically motivated charges according to his supporters. The former president was also serving a 20-years prison sentence for allegedly killing protesters in 2012.

Morsi was suffering from various health issues including diabetes and liver and kidney disease. During his imprisonment, he suffered from medical neglect worsened by poor prison conditions.

Mohammed Sudan, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, said that Morsi’s death was "premeditated murder” by not allowing him adequate health care.

"He has been placed behind [a] glass cage [during trials]. No one can hear him or know what is happening to him. He hasn’t received any visits for months or nearly a year. He complained before that he doesn’t get his medicine. This is premeditated murder. This is a slow death,” Sudan said.

Morsi was allowed 3 short visits in 6 years. One in November 2013 after being forcibly disappeared for 4 months, and another in June 2017 when only his wife and daughter were allowed, and the third in September 2018 with security official recording the whole conversation.

Venezuela vuelve a perder temporalmente derecho a voto en la ONU por impago

Venezuela perdió este lunes temporalmente su derecho a voto en la Asamblea General de la ONU a causa del impago de sus aportaciones, según dijo la organización.

El país estuvo en la misma situación el año pasado, cuando posteriormente recuperó el derecho a votar en ese órgano tras abonar parte de su deuda.

Las normas de la ONU establecen la pérdida del derecho de voto en la Asamblea General para los Estados miembros que tienen pendientes pagos al presupuesto de la organización por una cantidad igual o superior a las contribuciones que les correspondían durante los dos años anteriores.

Stéphane Dujarric, portavoz de Naciones Unidas, dijo hoy que, a fecha 29 de enero, ocho países estaban en esa situación.

Además de Venezuela, se trata de la República Centroafricana, Dominica, Guinea Ecuatorial, Granada, Libia, Surinam y Yemen.

Las reglas de la ONU permiten excepciones para Estados miembros que se enfrentan a situaciones extraordinarias.

En este caso, la Asamblea General determinó el pasado octubre que Comoras, Guinea Bissau, Santo Tomé y Príncipe y Somalia puedan votar durante el actual periodo de sesiones a pesar de no haber abonado las cantidades correspondientes al presupuesto de la organización.

Au Cameroun, au moins 17 personnes auraient perdu la vie dimanche dans des violences survenues dans les régions anglophones, selon Amnesty International. Un bilan nié par les autorités camerounaises, qui parlent plutôt de dix morts.

Selon Ilaria Allegrozzi, chercheuse à Amnesty International, les 17 victimes ont été tuées par les forces de sécurité lors des manifestations organisées dans une quarantaine de villes et villages du nord-ouest et du sud-ouest du pays.

« Nous avons pu parler avec nos sources sur le terrain, des sources diversifiées : des journalistes, des activistes, des citoyens lambda et des contacts avec qui nous travaillons toujours, y compris des avocats qui ont pu regrouper des informations à travers des vérifications sur le terrain, notamment aussi avec des sources médicales et avec les témoins oculaires des violences et des gens qui ont vu des personnes qui ont été tuées, notamment par balle », explique Ilaria Allegrozzi à RFI.

Le divorce est consommé au Cameroun entre le pouvoir central et les séparatistes anglophones dans les régions du sud-ouest et du nord-ouest. Les protestataires qui se sentent marginalisés, mis à l’écart depuis des mois ont proclamé symboliquement l’indépendance de la zone ce dimanche un État appelé « Ambazonie ». Des violences ont alors éclaté et le bilan est lourd.

Des #casques_bleus visés par de nouvelles accusations d’abus sexuels
▻http://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2015/06/24/des-casques-bleus-vises-par-de-nouvelles-accusations-d-abus-sexuels_4660314_

La mission de l’ONU en République centrafricaine (Minusca) a été informée d’accusations d’#abus_sexuels commis par ses casques bleus « contre des enfants des rues à Bangui », a indiqué mardi 23 juin le porte-parole de l’ONU Stéphane Dujarric.

Les abus ont été commis par « un des contingents » de la #Minusca, a-t-il ajouté, sans préciser lequel. Les Nations unies tentent de vérifier ces accusations, qui pourraient remonter à 2014 mais qui n’ont été signalées que le 19 juin à la Minusca, et « fournissent un soutien aux victimes ».

“The Damage is Beyond Imagination in Gaza”: Journalist Mohammed Omer on Ceasefire Deal & Rebuilding
▻http://www.democracynow.org/2014/8/27/the_damage_is_beyond_imagination_in

(...) AMY GOODMAN: What about the agreement? What exactly does this ceasefire say?

MOHAMMED OMER: The ceasefire is a quite vague terminology. I have seen the document which the Egyptians have released. The term “ease the crossings” or “ease the blockade” is rather vague, and it’s a rather subjective term which I find very difficult to translate on the ground. If you go back a little bit, Amy, to May 2010, just after the Mavi Marmara, the Turkish attack—or, the attack on the Turkish flotilla, we do see how much Israel tried to get materials into the Gaza Strip, and “easing the blockade” back then was translated into allowing ketchup, shoelace, and even coriander to make falafel for the people of Gaza. I hope this is not going to be the case this time.

People are hopeful that this is going to be holding, but I am not quite confident that Israel is really willing to do that. If that’s the case, then we would be seeing all the commercial crossings and Rafah crossing will be open. But that has not been the case today. Palestinian fishermen are hoping to get inside further than the three miles that they have been restricted to by the Israeli military for the past period, but so far we haven’t heard any reports from the fishermen whether they were able to get inside further than six miles. So it’s all in the test mode, if you like, in the coming hours. We are trying to see how much of this is going to hold.

But the fact that it is really quite holding right now, that the ceasefire is still going on, and there is no fighting, which is a good chance for people to come back to their homes and to check on their relatives and to bury their loved ones and to go condolences. I have seen about—talking about condolences, there are hundreds of people who are running to mourning tents, from one to the other, and there are many people who don’t know who was lost. Some people who are living in the same neighborhood, who say, “Well, we don’t know that our neighbors have been killed, because we were under constant bombardment and attacks that we could not leave outside of our homes.”

AMY GOODMAN: Mohammed Omer, on Tuesday, the U.N. spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, welcomed the ceasefire but warned that any lasting solution must address the root causes of the conflict. This is what he said.

STÉPHANE DUJARRIC: Any peace effort that does not tackle the root causes of the crisis will do little more then set the stage for the next cycle of violence. Gaza must be brought back under one legitimate Palestinian government, adhering to the PLO commitments. The blockade of Gaza must end. Israel’s legitimate security concerns must be addressed. The United Nations stands ready to support efforts to address the structural factors of conflict between Israel and Gaza.

AMY GOODMAN: What does this position of the United Nations mean for the people of Gaza, Mohammed Omer?

MOHAMMED OMER: But this position is not new. If we are talking about eight years ago, this is the same position exactly. The United Nations have called on Israel to end the blockade in Gaza, to make life possible for the Palestinians. But now it’s really up to Israel. It’s Israel who will decide whether the Gaza Strip should be opened or not.

I mean, talking about six miles, this is not enough, when I talk to fishermen. This is absolutely not enough. Basically, Palestinians for the last few years have been fishing an area which is virtually fished out, in fact. So, people are fishing within three miles just for the last few years, and now they are extended another three miles. I’m sure they will be shot at in the coming days.

People say that this is going to be a quite shaky ceasefire, given that there is no guarantee. It’s only Egypt that guarantees all these issues. If you remember, in November 2012, the United States of America, they were on this agreement of ceasefire. President Morsi, back then, and several Arab states and European Union were supporting the ceasefire. And it did not really hold for more than two years. So what are we expecting, this ceasefire to hold for more than a year now? I’m quite doubting that.(...)

La rupture du cessez-le-feu à Gaza « remet en question la crédibilité des assurances données par le Hamas aux Nations unies », ajoute le communiqué de l’ONU lu par M. Dujarric.

#Gaza : Les #mots en #guerre
par Jacques-Marie Bourget, le 23 juillet 2014
▻http://www.acrimed.org/article4410.html

Les mots en guerre, je veux dire les mots que les médias utilisent pour parler de la guerre, perdent leur sens au premier coup de canon. La poudre met le feu aux dictionnaires et ce qui voulait dire noir signifie blanc. En ces heures les journalistes ont deux champs d’exercice pour leur sémantique, celui d’Ukraine où Poutine est « Hitler » et Svoboda « Gandhi », celui d’Israël où la politesse due à « un pays ami » a réussi à faire passer la langue militaire pour la vérité à répéter.

Un exercice pratique, pris au hasard, mais qui est un échantillon de cet infini. Dimanche soir, le 20 juillet à 22 heures, face à la chaine i>Télé, j’apprends que des combattants, forcément du « Hamas », ont « enlevé » un soldat de Benjamin Netanyahou. Sur le plateau ils sont trois estampillés journalistes, et qui se renvoient cette information comme une boule de billard électrique. Si, pour l’un, le militaire a été « enlevé », pour un autre il a été « kidnappé ». En passant je signale que, par essence, ce mot qui contient « kid », ne peut être utilisé que lors de l’enlèvement d’un enfant. Le mieux est à venir, une jeune consœur évoque un « otage ». Ça y est ! Nous sommes dans un schéma connu, celui du soldat Shalit, capturé les armes à la main mais néanmoins « otage » pour la France.

Pour une journaliste d’i>Télé, un soldat qui fait la guerre et se fait prendre, n’est donc pas un « prisonnier ». Mais un « otage » victime d’un « rapt », d’un « enlèvement » comme jadis le malheureux baron Empain [2].
