DOHA: Noted Islamic scholar and President of International Union of Muslim Scholars, Dr Yusuf Al Qaradawi, (pictured) has criticised the verdict issued by an Egyptian court sentencing to death some 183 Muslim Brotherhood operatives accused of launching an attack on a police station in 2013.
In a tweet yesterday, Dr Al Qaradawi described the verdict as unfair and said it had been issued in a single session passing death sentences against hundreds of those opposing the military coup.
“How can unarmed people launch attack on an army that is equipped with modern weapons?” he argued.
“Since the coup has taken place people are being arrested, tortured and killed en masse and women are being raped (in Egypt),” he claimed in his tweets.
The military regime has kidnapped the elected president of Egypt and dismissed an elected government and cancelled the constitution.
The country has slipped into a dark era. People protesting for their rights are being targeted.
A bogus media propaganda has been launched against those opposing the coup and they are being dubbed as terrorists.
The military regime tries to make new pharaoh and misinterpreted to Egyptian people that (military regime) is the only way to rescue the country from what is going on, Al Qaradawi added.
