On June 17, former Egyptian president and leader of the Muslim Brotherhood Mohammed Morsi died unexpectedly of a heart attack in court. Morsi collapsed in his cage at a hearing, shortly after speaking during his trial over alleged espionage for the Palestinian Hamas movement.
His sudden death caused a stir among rights and political circles and raised demands to re-examine the conditions of Egyptian jails as well as questions about the future of the Muslim Brotherhood.
