Ban Ki-moon Calls for Morsi’s Release

The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called for the release of Egypt’s ousted President Mohamed Morsi.

The ousted president and several Muslim Brotherhood leaders have been arrested since the Egyptian army overthrew Morsi in a military coup on July 3.

Not only has Safwat Hegazy and Mohamed Al-Beltagy, Islamist leaders, have called for Morsi’s release, but the foreign ministries of the European Union has also interfered.

Because of that, the UN deputy spokesman Eduardo Del Buey said on Friday “be released or have their cases reviewed transparently without delay.”

But the military has maintained that Morsi is being held for his own safety and nothing else.
