In June 2013, protests calling for Morsi's resignation erupted. The military, backed by the political opposition and leading religious figures, [[Abdel Fattah el-Sisi]] stepped in and deposed Morsi in a coup. It suspended the constitution and appointed Adly Mansour as interim president. Pro-Morsi demonstrations were crushed, resulting in over 800 deaths. Egyptian prosecutors then charged Morsi with various crimes and sought the death penalty, a move denounced by Amnesty International as "a charade based on null and void procedures". His death sentence was overturned in November 2016 and a retrial ordered. Morsi died during trial on 17 June 2019 amid claims that he was being denied appropriate medical care while in custody in the imfamous [[Tura Prison]]. | In June 2013, protests calling for Morsi's resignation erupted.
