Mohammed Morsi’s death should be subject to a transparent and open investigation – Fabian Hamilton

Fabian Hamilton MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs, commenting on the death of former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, said:

“Mohammed Morsi’s death should be subject to a transparent and open investigation.

“Anybody found responsible for the death of a previously elected head
of state must be held accountable and brought to justice. It is
unacceptable that the British government and the Foreign Secretary
haven’t pressed the Egyptian authorities to fully investigate his death.
Meanwhile, successive Conservative governments continue to welcome
President Sisi with open arms, despite his extremely poor human rights
record. Tens of thousands of political prisoners continue to languish in
Egyptian prisons, often in appalling conditions.

“Labour urges the Foreign Secretary to call upon the Egyptian
government to work closely with the United Nations establishing the
circumstances surrounding Morsi’s sudden and unexpected death.”
