Mohamed Morsi: Difference between revisions

Line 18:

As president, Morsi issued a temporary constitutional declaration in November 2012 that in effect granted him unlimited powers and the power to legislate without judicial oversight or review of his acts as a pre-emptive move against the expected dissolution of the second constituent assembly by the Mubarak-era judges. The new constitution that was then hastily finalised by the Islamist-dominated constitutional assembly, presented to the president, and scheduled for a referendum before the Supreme Constitutional Court could rule on the constitutionality of the assembly, was described by independent press agencies not aligned with the regime as an "Islamist coup". These issues, along with complaints of prosecutions of journalists and attacks on non violent demonstrators, led to the 2012 protests. As part of a compromise, Morsi rescinded the decrees. A new constitution was approved by approximately two-thirds of voters in the referendum. On December 8, 2012, the Egyptian military issued its first statement since the outbreak of the protests, stating that this would protect public institutions and the innocent and not allow events to become more dangerous. In Kandil, the cabinet also authorized the army to help the police in Egypt maintain security. Egypt and state media reported that Morsi was moving towards imposing some martial law to secure the streets and allow voting on the draft letter as a referendum on the constitution.

On November 22, 2012, millions of protesters began protesting against Morsi after his government announced a temporary constitutional declaration that in effect gave the president unlimited powers. Morsi considered the decree necessary to protect the elected Constituent Assembly from a planned dissolution by judges appointed during the Mubarak era. Seven members of Morsi's 17-member advisory committee resigned in December 2012. On December 8, 2012, Morsi annulled his temporary decree that expanded his presidential authority and removed judicial review of his decrees, an Islamist official said, but added that the results of the provisional declaration would remain in effect. On December 22, the Morsi-backed constitution was approved in a national referendum by 64% of the electorate with 33% of the electorate voting. The opposition claimed that these procedures were fraudulent and called for an investigation.

Before the anti-government protests in Egypt, Morsi supporters gathered in Rab'a Al-Adawiya to celebrate the first anniversary of the Morsi government, on the other hand, on June 30, 2013, on the first anniversary of the Morsi's election, thousands of Morsi opponents gathered and gathered in Tahrir Square and outside the main presidential palace in Heliopolis, demanding his resignation.

Demonstrations were also reported in 18 locations in Cairo and several other locations in the country, including Alexandria, Mahalla, and cities in the Suez Canal area. Several political organizations supported the demonstrations, including Tamarod made up of members of the Egyptian Movement for Change, which claimed to have collected 22 million signatures calling for Morsi's resignation. On July 3, 2013, following a coup in which thousands of protesters were killed, the Egyptian Armed Forces issued a statement announcing the end of Morsi's presidency after a 48-hour period calling on Morsi to "respond to demands. from town". In the same statement, the army announced that the constitution has been suspended due to the amendments and that new elections will be held in the future. The President of the Constitutional Court, Adly Mansour, became Egypt's Acting President during the transition period.

The former president was then transferred to the prison of Borg El Arab, a maximum security prison in the middle of the desert.
