Egyptian lawyer Samir Sabry filed a complaint with the State Supreme Emergency Court against ousted President Mohamed Morsi, asking the court to hand him over to the criminal court based on the terms of the emergency law, Moheet.com reported yesterday.

In his complaint, Sabry said: “It became clear that the terrorist spy Mohamed Morsi is the first inciter for all the filthy terrorist attacks the last of which are the despicable attacks on the churches in Tanta and Alexandria where tens of martyrs and wounded fell.”

The complaint also noted that “the terrorist attacks caused much bloodshed, family displacements, orphaned children, widows and deteriorated the life of Egyptians after the ouster of the spy Mohamed Morsi and his terrorist organisation.”

Sabry also claimed that Morsi “had a big role in the spread of violence across Egypt due to the amnesty he issued for sentenced terrorists during his one year rule.”

According to the complaint, Morsi “ruled the country with a Brotherhood fist between June 30 2012 and July 3 2013, and during this period, he issued an amnesty for about 2,500 sentenced terrorists and weapons smugglers.”

The lawyer, who filed many complaints against Muslim Brotherhood leaders and members after the ouster of the first-ever freely elected Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, claimed in his complaints that “all the terrorists released by Morsi’s amnesty returned to terror and targeted the army, police and civilians, as well as harming tourism.”
