Mohamed Morsi, 67, died Monday

 Former Muslim Brotherhood Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, 67, died Monday of a heart attack after a hearing in Cairo, nearly six years after being deposed by then-leader Abdel Fattah al-Sisi of the Army.

 Mohamed Morsi was buried on Tuesday. "He was buried in Medinat Nasr, in eastern Cairo, in the presence of his family," said Maksoud, one of his lawyers. "The funeral prayer was made at the prison hospital in Tora," he said.

 The Islamist leader was imprisoned in 2013 since his dismissal by the army. He was later tried in a number of cases, including a spy case in favor of Iran, Qatar and groups such as Hamas in Gaza.

 He had been sentenced to a total of 45 years in prison in two cases, inciting violence against protesters in late 2012 and spying for Qatar. He was also tried in two other trials after the quashing of two verdicts against him - a death sentence and life imprisonment.

 Mr. Morsi's Freedom and Justice Party, the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, spoke of a "murder", denouncing in a statement poor conditions of detention whose "purpose was to kill him slowly" .

                         لماذا نحن هنا؟ Information is an important element in the world we live in. Fake news leads us to believe the opposite of reality. In a Middle Eastern region where the bloody war in Gaza continues, it is important to report the truth; the genocide and Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, as well as the situation in Syria. This is what we do at ARABINFOCUS. We have therefore humbly asked for donations from members of the HH Arab Royal Houses; from His Highnesses Emirs and from important Muslim personalities who have the financial means to make a donation. We have asked them for a simple donation. Only one anonymous Saudi helped us. All the others have ignored us and have not given us even  a dinar.  Why this ignorance against ARABINFOCUS? Our fight against Jewish Zionism deserved help. But a HH Crown Prince; HH sheikhs; HH emirs;  Prime ministers; all have scorned us, instea...

          IS FOOTBALL MORE IMPORTANT THAN ARABIC CULTURE? Qatar and Saudi Arabia have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in hiring top-class soccer players in Europe to elevate and give greater prestige to their national championships in this sport. Football is a global distraction and, therefore, there is nothing to criticize about these operations. It is absolutely normal and correct that the two Arab countries have made that expense. But this situation moves us to ask some questions: 1.- Soccer is more important than the values of the culture of the Arab Nation. ? 2.-Is Soccer more important than reporting and condemning Israel's criminal aggressions against the Palestinian people? 3.-Is Soccer more important than defending Islam and its values and teachings, when it is being subjected to unfair attacks from some Western countries? 4.- Is Soccer more important than explaining and defending the values of the holy book of the Quran, subject of attacks, de...

                ONE HUNDRED KILLED IN THE ATTACK ON A SCHOOL IN GAZA Genocide and war crimes continue in Gaza, although Prime Minister Netanyahu says he is willing to resume peace negotiations. In the attack on a school this Friday, 100 Palestinians died, some of whom are women and children. Israel justified the missile attack, stating that the school served as a refuge for Hamas militants, but has not presented the slightest evidence to justify the version of the Jewish armed forces. It's the same old story. Every time Israel attacks a school, a hospital or a refugee camp, it justifies it by claiming that those places were used by the military branch of Hamas. But don't look for proof because there isn't any. The school attacked with missiles was Al-Tabin, in the Daraj area, in the capital of the Palestinian enclave. The school was completely destroyed. Meanwhile, the Palestinian and Lebanese populations continue to wait for the announced attack ...
