Morsi, accused of espionage in a court in Cairo in favour of Qatar, went to the trial session against him on Monday. After talking, he collapsed. According to Egyptian state television, the former president was transferred to a hospital and the necessary measures were taken to evacuate him. Television itself, citing medical sources, has reported that the man died of a heart attack in the region. He was 67 years old.

Morsi, a prisoner since the 2013 coup d'état, had been in solitary confinement for almost six years, resulting in a loss of health. His family and human rights organizations have denounced the isolation he suffered and did not receive the medical care he needed. In addition to chronic diabetes, he suffered from kidney and liver diseases. However, without medical follow-up, they reported that the death of the young woman was in danger. Amnesty International reported in February that, since his arrest, the former president had only received the doctor ' s visit three times.

Morsi, his brother’s candidate Mulsulmen for the country’s presidency, came in 2012 and became Egypt’s first civilian president. The process that began with the January 2011 revolution led him to occupy that position, replacing dictator Hosni Mubarak.

Funerals and mobilizations

The Muslim Brotherhood has called Morsi's death "murder" and has called for mass participation at Morsi's funeral. He has been buried in the district of Nasr City in Cairo, after the Egyptian authorities had banned the burying of his body in the family cemetery.

In the face of the mobilizations that have taken place in connection with the murder, the Ministry of the Interior of the Egyptian Government has declared a state of emergency.
