The United States is concerned about the death sentence of Morsi, the former president of Egypt

The Dhaka Times Desk The United States has expressed concern over the recent death sentence for former Egyptian President Morsi. An Egyptian court on Monday sentenced 105 members of the Muslim Brotherhood to death, including ousted President Morsi.

According to media reports, the United States has expressed deep concern over the death sentence of Egypt's first democratically elected former president, Mohamed Morsi.

An Egyptian court on Monday sentenced 105 members of the Muslim Brotherhood to death, including ousted President Morsi. It is said that the court gave this verdict for their role in the mass escape of prisoners during the 2011 uprising.

A spokesperson for the US State Department said, "We are deeply concerned by yet another mass death sentence in an Egyptian court against hundreds of defendants, including former President Morsi." We have been continuously speaking out against the practice of mass trial and mass punishment. And they are conducted in such a way that it is inconsistent with Egypt's international obligations and the rule of law.

It should be noted that the case will be sent to Egypt's top religious authority, the Grand Mufti, for consideration before the execution of the sentence, according to media reports. The court will then announce its final decision on June 2. However, even if the Mufti's recommendation is in favor of the death penalty, the accused will have the opportunity to appeal, according to international media reports.
