Led by special rapporteur Agnes Callamard and the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, the human rights experts explicitly called out Sisi’s government for rights violations in jails describing them as “intentional”.
Morsi spent nearly six years in solitary confinement where the panel said he “was denied life-saving and ongoing care for his diabetes and high blood pressure”.

The experts noted Friday that “authorities were warned repeatedly” about his deteriorating health to the “point of killing him”.
“There is no evidence they (authorities) acted to address these concerns, even though the consequences were foreseeable,” the statement added.
Egyptian authorities have not yet commented on the panel’s findings.
