Egypt's first democratically elected president, removed by the military after one year in office. His brief tenure collapsed under mass protests and a constitutional crisis; his death in custody six years later became its own controversy.

About this person

Born in El Adwah in 1951, Morsi studied metallurgical engineering in Cairo before earning a doctorate in materials science at USC and teaching in California until 1985. Back in Egypt, he joined the Muslim Brotherhood and won a parliamentary seat in 2000 as an independent under Mubarak's restrictions. After the 2011 revolution ousted Mubarak, Morsi led the newly formed Freedom and Justice Party to victory in parliamentary elections, then won the presidency in 2012, ending six decades of military rule. In November 2012 he issued decrees granting himself sweeping powers to shield a constitutional assembly from judicial review; the rushed constitution that followed and crackdowns on journalists sparked mass protests. In June 2013 the military deposed him in a coup, suspended the constitution, and installed an interim president while crushing pro-Morsi demonstrations that left over 800 dead. Charged with multiple crimes and sentenced to death in proceedings Amnesty International called a charade, Morsi died during retrial on 17 June 2019 amid accusations he had been denied medical care in custody.
