From the article:

An Egyptian court has pronounced death sentences on ousted president Mohammed Morsi and more than 100 other people over a mass prison break in 2011.

Morsi is already serving a 20-year prison term for ordering the arrest and torture of protesters while in power.

1. Sounds legit

Very democratic too. Don't like the elected leader? Execute a coup and then just kill him

2. You're fired.

"Um ... we look at the word "severance" a little different here."

4. Imagine that - the only elected President of Egypt is sentenced to death

Western backed dictators rule.

5. A reminder that the deaths in the 2013 Raba Square massacre rivaled the deaths in Tiananmen Square

Yet we're still sending weapons to the bloodthirsty dictators responsible and refusing to call their coup a coup?

This is why the U.S. government isn't taken seriously when it's talking about Human Rights.
