Just when many thought the Kangaroo Courts of Egypt’s military rulers couldn’t get any more absurd, they prove everyone wrong. They have done it again and again, just as I had suspected they are capable of. It is becoming almost like watching a show trial in a North Korean court (I think, since I have never been in a North Korean court). In fact these are show trials being staged in Cairo.
The charges against deposed former president Mohammed Morsi keep piling up, aided and abetted by gleeful Mubarak-appointed judges and bureaucrats. The earlier charges ranged from murder to prison escape to drunk-driving to wife-beating to terrorism and treason and rape and sorcery. Now they have added plotting with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah and Hamas. I fully expect the funny court to add new charges soon, including joining the Bolshevik Party, the Black Panthers, the Viet Cong, and selling state secrets to Donald Trump and possibly Ted Nugent. It is getting too lengthy to list all the charges. I am listing here links to some of the earlier posts on this interesting topic of Morsi on trial:
Egyptian Kangaroo: Dr. Morsi in a Glass Cage, Field Marshal Sisi Soars into the Sky
‘Field Marshal’ Sisi Outranks ‘Colonel’ Nasser, Equals Montgomery, Rommel, Zhukov, Al Khalifa
Religion in Egypt: from Saladin to Sisi, from Jerusalem to Beckett
