New Delhi, 25 March 2014: India’s largest socio-religious Muslim organization Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has strongly condemned an Egyptian court’s order awarding death sentence to over 500 members of Muslim Brotherhood whose Mohammad Morsi was ousted from power through a military coup last year.
“The death sentence to 529 members of Muslim Brotherhood is a murder of justice and humanity,” said Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Omari, Amir (National President) of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind in a media statement here on Tuesday.
The court order, he said, is “a mockery of Islamic rules and principles and an extremely brutal act”, said Maulana Omari.
Morsi was elected as president of the country through a democratic and free election. But the army of the country, in the leadership of General Al-Sisi, executed a coup and ousted Morsi. When people came out protesting against the coup, hundreds of them were brutally killed on streets of Egypt. Morsi has since been behind bars.
Jamaat leader appealed to world community to raise voice against what he said “the brutal and unjustified act of Egyptian courts” so that innocents could be saved and justice established.
