By Emmanuel Onwubiko<\/b><\/div>\n
Since the popular uprising by millions of Egyptians that resulted in the forced removal of Dr. Mohammed Morsi and the formation of another civilian administration backed by the military hierarchy, several events have happened that have raised questions regarding the impartial role in the entire political debacle\u00a0by the military.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One among the most prominent events that have brought Egypt into global disrepute is the decisive crushing by brute force of the mass demonstrations by the Muslim Brotherhood members, a Sunni Islamist religious, and political platform which has \u00a0longstanding history.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Before I am misunderstood, it must be made clear that activities of the Muslim Brotherhood have come under increasing scrutiny for targeting followers of other religious faiths and members of this religious platform are seen more or less as fundamentalist Islamic adherents with little or no tolerance even for other sectarian groupings even within the same Islamic Religion.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With the above key preamble, let me observe that the Muslim Brotherhood was successful in the 2011 \u2013 2012 parliamentary elections and its leader, the United States trained Dr. Mohammed Morsi won the June 2012 Presidential poll. A year after he was sworn in, due to popular acclaim and the staging of another mass revolution, Mohammed Morsi was removed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Morsi\u2019s removal followed series of undemocratic moves the then Muslim Brotherhood-dominated parliament made to introduce theocracy and suppress the practice of democratic freedoms and liberal democracy. Under his watch secular Egyptians and Coptic Christians came under barbaric attacks by fundamentalists opposed to religious liberalism.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
July 3rd 2013 was therefore the day in\u00a0contemporary history that \u00a0the Egyptian military Chief- General Fattah el-Sisi removed Mohammed Morsi from power and suspended the national Constitution.\u00a0 This decision nevertheless secured widespread legitimacy from a cross section of the Egyptian civilian populace in their millions which by far outstripped the number that actually voted and brought Mohammed Morsi and his now dethroned Muslim Brotherhood affiliated administration to power before it collapsed like a pack of cards.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The military Chief then set up an interim government which is charged with organizing fresh election and the Chief Justice of the constitutional supreme court of Egypt Mr. Adly Mansour was named leader.<\/div>\n
The Massive crackdown of the demonstrators drawn largely from the Muslim Brotherhood has taken a bizarre dimension with the recent charade of a verdict of a Tribunal in which 500 or more members of Muslim Brotherhood were convicted for the alleged murder of one policeman during a demonstration.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Apart from the fact that this sham that emanated from the Egyptian Court has drawn global wide condemnations, the fact that most of those sentenced to death never participated in any demonstration but were simply picked up from the comfort of their homes and driven in ramshackle vehicles to court, has made it all the more a mockery of the principle of social justice and the rule of law.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This verdict has created credibility question for the interim government which has largely operated under the shadows of the powerful Egyptian military hierarchy which is warming up to present its commander-General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as a Presidential Candidate. This military chief has already started international political campaign to transmute into civilian President as he was recently seen in the international media visiting some World leaders as if he is the defacto and de jure President of Egypt.<\/div>\n
This judgment has not only turned logic on its head but it has turned Egypt that used to be venerated as the bastion of ancient civilization into a theatre of the absurd. It is absolutely absurd to conceive that 500 persons can plot the killing of just one policeman.<\/div>\n
This verdict in which 500 members of the Muslim Brotherhood have been sentenced to death for the alleged killing of just one policeman is one of the greatest mathematical mysteries because it is absolutely unmathematical to calculate and conclude that five hundred are equal to one.<\/div>\n
But since the military-controlled political institution in Egypt is all out to crush members of the Muslim Brotherhood to pave way for the return through the back door of a civilian administration headed by a venerated and powerful military oligarch, it does not matter if five hundred lives are wasted with the infantile and warped logic that these crowd conspired, colluded and participated in the killing of one policeman.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Even the official state media in Egypt has branded this latest charade as the largest set of death sentences ordered by a court in the modern history of Egypt.<\/div>\n
The Cairo-based Minya Criminal court which handed out these set of primitive death sentences on Monday March 24th 2014 can at best be described as the modern day theatre of the absurd.<\/div>\n
This is how even the Muslim-backed Malasia Sun newspaper of Monday 24th March 2014 reported the mass death sentences.<\/div>\n
The Newspaper reported thus; \u201cThe trial which resulted in Monday\u2019s sentencing, only began on Saturday. The defense team was reportedly not allowed to make statements or objections, and the majority of the defendants were not allowed to attend the hearing”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The newspaper also reported that; \u201cWhen the trial starts on Saturday and it is just a procedural hearing, and the judge doesn\u2019t listen to any lawyers or witnesses and doesn\u2019t even call the defendants, you are before a group of thugs and not the judiciary,\u201d a family member of a defendant told Reuters.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThis is the largest single batch of simultaneous death sentences we\u2019ve seen in recent years, not just in Egypt but anywhere in the world,\u201d Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Deputy Middle East and North Africa Programme Director at Amnesty International said Monday.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The newspaper quoted critics of the Egyptian government as saying that; \u00a0\u201cEgypt\u2019s courts are quick to punish Mohammed Morsi\u2019s supporters but ignore gross human rights violations by the security forces. While thousands of Morshi\u2019s supporters languish. Just one police officer is facing a prison sentence, for the deaths of 37 detainees.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWithout an independent and impartial process that can deliver truth and justice for all, many will question whether Egypt\u2019s criminal justice system has indeed anything to do with justice, \u201cSahraoui said. \u201cin any event, recourse to the death penalty is inherently unjust, and the Egyptian authorities should impose a moratorium on executions, with a view to abolishing it.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This mass death sentences handed to over 500 Citizens of Egypt by this Cairo-based court have grossly breached all sensible and well grounded international humanitarian laws.<\/div>\n
Specifically, in part three, Article 26 of the international Covenant on civil and political Rights, the defendants must not be denied the right to fair conduct of the trial process including the right to be heard and represented by legal counsels of their choosing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“All persons are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to the equal protection of the law”, so, says Article 26 of the international centenary on civil and political Rights.<\/div>\n
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is another aspect of the body of international humanitarian laws that the Egyptian mass death sentences violated with shameless impunity, making it all the more imperative that the security council of the United Nations must act decisively to save Egypt from the unmitigated desecration of human lives that may occur should these sentences be carried out.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAll human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood\u201d. That is Article one of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But in reaching this predictable and rash decision, the Egyptian court has treated these 500 Muslim brotherhood members\u00a0as persons without fundamental rights.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Also, Article eleven of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides clearly that; \u201cEvery one charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence\u201d.<\/div>\n
From the barrage of news coverage emanating from the trial, it is clearly that none of these parameters of Justice, equity and fairness were extended to these 500 persons who were simply moved into a crowded court room caged like mere irrational inanimate objects and sentenced to death without allowing them to put up any form of defence.<\/div>\n
Now that this injustice has happened, World leaders must not only speak out in total rejection of this perfidy, but the security council must take concrete measures to ensure that the government in Egypt\u00a0is not allowed to send these 500 persons to their untimely deaths.<\/div>\n
