The Death Sentence imposed on 528
members/supporters of the Egyptian Brotherhood Party after a 1-day sham trial
during which Attorneys for the defendants were not allowed to act for their
clients and the prosecution presented no evidence linking the accused persons,
gives credence to the fact that the military dictators who have seized control
of the ancient land of the Pharaohs appear to be losing their minds.
With the arraignment today, of other leaders
of the Muslim Brotherhood (inclusive of its spiritual guide, Mohammed Badie,
and Saad al-Katatni, the chairman of the Brotherhoods’ Freedom and Justice
Party (FJP), in a second batch comprising 683 accused persons, all of whom are
likely to be equally sentenced to death, one can say without equivocation that
the General al-Sisi junta is intent on annihilating the entirety of the
leadership and membership of the Muslim Brotherhood
History and commonsense has severally proved
that it is always better to have a known physical adversary than to push such
adversaries underground and have to deal with ‘unknown enemies’
General al-Sisi and his gang are out to
murder sleep - and as all who murder sleep have found out to their chagrin,
they shall indeed sleep no more.
So unfortunate! One wonders if the nightmare
called the General al-Sisi led junta would have been avoided if a coup had appropriately
been referred to as a coup, when it took place?
As I have repeatedly stated in other fora and on this blog, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood party, during the period it held sway over the governance of Egypt, itself acted in a draconian undemocratic manner. Such display of poor leadership skills and inability to effectively manage the affairs of the state of Egypt when it was in charge, can in no way justify the actions of the General al-Sisi's junta against the Muslim Brotherhood.
If the Egyptian junta goes ahead and
executes any of the persons it has condemned to death under this most
draconian, illegitimate, unjust and unfair legal process, a crime against
humanity under the provisions of the Rome Statute of the International
Criminal Court would have been
consummated.
In the event of the execution of any of the accused persons sentenced under the judgment in focus here, it will be appropriate to set in process the necessary mechanisms to investigate, prosecute and where found culpable punish, the leadership of the present junta ruling over Egypt and their agents linked to this international crime for crimes against humanity.
