Mohamed Morsi rose from humble beginning to become Egypt’s first and only freely elected leader. His final years, however, were spent in Sisi’s jails.
Egypt’s first democratically elected president, Mohamed Morsi, died during a court session on Monday.
A senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood, he was arrested during the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 but escaped prison with fellow members just two days later.Morsi headed the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party, and later in 2012 stepped in as the organisations preferred candidate for president after its initial choice, Khairat al Shater, was barred from running.
Morsi dismissed the defence minister that ruled Egypt after Mubarak, Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, and army chief of staff, Sami Anan.Morsi’s rule was scarred by frequent opposition demonstrations, which ultimately culminated in the June 30, 2013 protests, which demanded his resignation. Morsi was first kept under guard and then imprisoned with tens of thousands of other opponents of the new military regime.
