Detained Essam El Erian dies due to health crisis
Detained member of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood
group Essam El Erian passed away on Thursday due a health crisis at Torha
prison, southern Cairo, sources told Youm7.
Eirian and
six other convicts were sentenced to life imprisonment in September 2019 for
the charges of staging a prison break during the 2011 Revolution, which toppled
the late President Hosni Muabark’s era.
Late
President Mohamed Morsi, who was belonging to the banned group, was among the
defendants of the same case. However the case was dropped against him due his
death.
The
defendants are charged with storming the Egyptian eastern borders, attacking
security institution, plotting with Hamas and the international organization of
the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hezbollah to create chaos in Egypt to bring down
the authorities, as well as having the Iranian Revolutionary Guards train
groups in Egypt to sabotage military targets in the country, including prisons.
No immediate
comment or statement has been released
from the Egyptian Ministry of Interior yet.
