The slow lynching of Egypt's Muhammed Morsi. His death marks the official death of justice in Egypt.

I was never a fan of Morsi. Undeniably, he made many mistakes. But the way he was treated in prison by Sisi's government was unspeakable to say the least. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Serving a life sentence on charges of alleged espionage, his entitlement to defend himself or even speak was completely denied. Without a doubt, the motive was to cause gradual death by sheer physical neglect, isolation and emotional abuse. Be it a criminal or a saint, such brazen injustice takes one back to the era of the gladiators! Though he has a very large following among Egypt's 97 million, the aftermath will be quiet and calm in a hapless nation ruled by fear.

A 67-year-old with multiple health issues - diabetes, liver and kidney ailments - was denied all medication. Mr. Morsi was put in solitary confinement in awful living conditions. Not a single visitor was allowed to see him, not even his immediate family nor his lawyers nor a doctor. In 6 years of solitary confinement his family was permitted to see him only thrice for a short duration. It's not known whether or not he was given enough to eat or provided with edible food. During court sessions he was put behind a soundproof glass cage. No one could hear him, except perhaps the judge. He was hurriedly buried a few hours after his death; the government didn't allow burial in his family cemetery.

POTUS' opinion of Abdel Fatteh Sisi has been consistent: “I think he’s doing a great job, I don’t know about the effort, I can just tell you he’s doing a great job... great president.” As usual, flattery coming from the White House means everything to Sisi, and thus no modern government of Egypt has been able to avoid its dependency on U.S. and Israel for survival at home as a brutal totalitarian regime.
