Egyptian exiles to address UN regarding Morsi’s health

The Egyptian Revolutionary Council Abroad announced on Sunday that it will address the UN regarding the health ousted President Mohamed Morsi, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed has reported. The council revealed its intention in a statement following a meeting in Turkey, in which it reiterated that it is still supporting Morsi as the “legitimate” President of Egypt.

Those attending the meeting discussed ways and means to tackle the political, economic, media and human rights issues in Egypt. The head of the council, Amro Adel, sent greetings to the souls of the martyrs killed by the military authorities and to the “hostages” inside the prisons run by the coup government in Cairo. He stressed that the council will continue working until the military coup is no more and Morsi is reinstated as president. The organisation is seeking to achieve “fair retribution” for the victims of the military coup; to fight racism; and to maintain Egypt’s wealth.

According to Dr Walid Sharabi, the head of the General Assembly of the Revolutionary Council Abroad, there are contacts being made among all political bodies inside and outside Egypt aimed at “saving” the people from the hands of the army and exposing the failure of the military coup to the world. He repeated that the UN is being asked to send a medical team to monitor the health of President Morsi and listen to his complaints about the alleged violations against him. Morsi’s lawyer has been unable to visit him since 3 July, 2013, the date of the coup.
