ISLAMABAD (Staff Report) – Pakistan foreign office on Tuesday expressed its extreme concerns over the decision of an Egyptian court to award death sentence to former President Muhammad Morsi.
In a brief statement issued to media, the spokesperson said that Egyptian government must review the process of mass trials and fulfill the judicial demands of fair trial in the cases against former president.
Earlier an Egyptian court had awarded death sentence to Morsi along with 100 others in an offence of jailbreak during the uprising in 2011.
Egypt’s top cleric, Grand Mufti, will take up the court’s decision on June 2 and approve or disapprove the death sentence.
Previously Morsi was sentenced to 20 years in jail in a separate case as most of the leaders of Muslim Brotherhood face trials after Abdul Fatah al-Sisi, former military general, took over the country in 2013.
