Mohammed Morsi

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what sanctions his Department has considered imposing on Egypt in response to the death sentence passed on Mohammad Morsi.

Answer

We are deeply concerned by the sentencing to death of former President Morsi and over 100 others. The UK Government has responded to these sentences in a number of ways, as given in my answer of today (PQ 4375). We have no plans to impose formal sanctions as part of this response.
