Sisi's criminal regime sentences thousands of pro-democracy protesters to death

Sisi's criminal regime in Egypt has sentenced thousands of pro-democracy activists and protesters to death. Even the spiritual leader of the banned Muslim Brotherhood, which was popularly elected before its ouster in a Sisi-led coup, has not been spared from such kangaroo court decisions. See the news clip below on this.

Egypt’s Giza Criminal Court today issued a ruling sentencing 14 more people, including Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Mohammed Badie, to death for “inciting violence.”
Since the military’s takeover in summer 2013, the Egyptian junta has aimed to execute thousands of people affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, whose Freedom and Justice Party was the elected government at the time.
The Egyptian military has declared the group a “terrorist organization,” but the thousands sought for execution were simply involved in public protests against military rule, and the “violence” incited was troops massacring those protesters.
This is the second time Badie has been sentenced to death in the past year, with thefirst “trial” lasting just eight minutes. The defense has not been allowed to speak.
Sisi is proving to be another Pharaoh who ruled this unfortunate nation.

After I’ve finished, I’ll open it up for your comments and questions. So prepare yourselves. *** I find the current moment in history rather painful. Open societies are in crisis, and various forms of dictatorships and mafia states, exemplified by Putin’s Russia, are on the rise. In the United States, President Trump would

Defining the Biden Doctrine

  In his first major foreign-policy speech as U.S. president, Joe Biden declared to the world that America was back. The international sigh of relief was almost audible amid hopes that former President Donald Trump’s disruptive style was a relic. Biden has pursued an ambitious agenda to repair alliances and forge new ones, curb corruption, arrest democratic backsliding, and tackle climate change, all while managing the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, Russian threats to Ukraine, and escalating tensions with China.  It hasn’t all been plain sailing. The decision to withdraw remaining U.S. troops from Afghanistan precipitated the collapse of the country’s government and chaos in Kabul as hundreds of thousands of people fled the Taliban. Plans to share nuclear submarine technology with Australia, at the expense of Canberra’s submarine deal with Paris, soured trans-Atlantic relations.  Ahead of the anniversary of Biden’s inauguration,  Foreign Policy ’s Amy Mackinnon spoke with one of t
