The youngest son of the late former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi has died of a heart attack he suffered while driving in Cairo, doctors say.
The youngest son of the late former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi has died of a heart attack he suffered while driving in Cairo, doctors said.
Mohamed Morsi, whose divisive year in power ended with a military ouster in 2013 following mass protests against his rule, had been in detention since he was toppled. In June, he collapsed and died in court during trial on espionage charges. His death brought criticism from local and international rights groups who accused the government of deliberately denying medical care to political prisoners.
Gamal Heshmat, a Brotherhood leader who lives in Turkey, said in an interview with al-Jazeera Mubashir news channel that he hoped Abdullah's death"would wake people up and attract their attention to the situation of the youths who die every day either morally or physically" in Egyptian prisons. Last year, in a rare interview, Abdullah told The Associated Press that the family had been campaigning to improve his father's prison conditions, complaining he was denied the right to prison visits."We want him to be able to have a life — visits and medical care, and eventually freedom," Abdullah said then.
