Mohammed Morsi
Mohammed Morsi was the first democratically elected President of Egypt, serving from June 2012 until his ousting by a military coup in July 2013. A member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi's presidency was marked by significant political turmoil and public dissent, leading to widespread protests against his government. Following his removal, he faced numerous legal challenges and was sentenced to death in a controversial trial that drew international criticism for its lack of due process. Morsi passed away in June 2019 while on trial, leaving behind a complex legacy in Egyptian politics.
