Egypt arrests Morsi's former PM
Egyptian
police have arrested the former prime minister under ex-President Mohamed
Morsi. Hisham Qandil was arrested in the desert outside of Cairo while trying
to escape to Sudan with a smuggler, the Interior Ministry stated.
While in
office under deposed Islamist President Mohamed Morsi, Qandil was sentenced to
a one-year prison term for not following court orders to renationalize a
company after it was privatized in 1996.
The
sentence was upheld by the Cairo appeals court in September. After Morsi’s
overthrow by the military in July, Qandil lived a very quiet life. Over the
summer, he was a spokesman for an alliance of pro-Morsi Islamist groups during
talks with European mediators who worked on lowering tensions with the
military-installed government.
Qandil
is not a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or any other Islamist organization.
Negotiations failed in August when police launched a crackdown on pro-Morsi
supporters, which killed more than 1,000 people in clashes and imprisoned
thousands, including some top Islamists.
Violence
has increased in Egypt since Morsi’s overthrow, especially in response to
heavy-handed military tactics against pro-Morsi, Muslim Brotherhood supporters.
On Tuesday, explosions
at a police headquarters in Mansoura killed at least 14 people and injured 130
others, Egypt's health ministry stated.
Egyptian
Prime Minister Hazem Al Beblawi condemned the attacks, calling them an act of
terrorism and vowing to seek justice for the perpetrators. The liberal Free
Egyptians Party accused the Muslim Brotherhood of being responsible for the
attack.
The
Egyptian military-backed government has been pursuing a crackdown against Morsi
and other Muslim Brotherhood leaders.
Since
then, several criminal cases against Morsi have been launched. One of them
accuses him of inciting deadly violence during the December 2012 protests. He
is also facing a criminal trial over an episode in January 2011, when he -
along with 129 others - escaped from a prison.
Many
international players have expressed concern over Egypt’s crackdown on the
opposition. In November, UN chief Ban Ki-moon criticized the impact of Egypt’s
new law which restricts assemblies following a crackdown, and the arrests of
dozens of activists angry at the measure.
Egyptian
authorities earlier handed out heavy prison sentences to a group of 21 young
female Morsi supporters and ordered the detention of two dozen secular
activists for participating in Tuesday’s demonstrations.
In
September, a court in Egypt banned all activities of the Muslim Brotherhood in
the country. The Brotherhood’s assets will also be confiscated, according to
the ruling. Also in September, Egyptian security forces stormed an Islamist
stronghold in the village of Kerdasa, located outside Cairo, arresting 65
people.
