Morsi: No Stability In Egypt Unless Coup Reversed

[Purveyor]

CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt's ousted President Mohammed Morsi accused the military chief who deposed him of treason in a message from prison read by lawyers on Wednesday, saying the country cannot return to stability until the coup is reversed and those behind it are tried.

The statement was part of a bid by Morsi to rally his supporters since his emergence from the secret military detention where he had been held, with virtually no contact with the outside world, since his July 3 ouster.

Morsi was moved to a high security civilian penitentiary last week after the first session of his trial on charges of inciting murder. There, he had his first extensive meeting with a team of lawyers from his Muslim Brotherhood and other allies on Tuesday, outlining to them his "message to the Egyptian people."

But he is emerging to a dramatically changed situation from four months ago.

Since then, a fierce crackdown by security forces has crippled the Brotherhood, several thousand members have been arrested, and hundreds have been killed. The group has been banned by a court order and a government-appointed committee is reviewing its financial assets with an eye to seize them. The new military-backed government is pushing ahead with a transition plan aiming for new presidential and parliamentary elections early next year.

1. "Several thousand members have been arrested, and hundreds have been killed."

And so many of DU's "liberals" were dancing with joy over this slaughter. These DU'ers remain on DU, because calling for and taking joy from the mass murder of Arabs or Muslims is not a violation of the ToS.
