ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan on Sunday criticized death sentence handed down to Egypt’s former president Mohammed Morsi, saying the conviction bodes ill for people of the country and the democracy.
Morsi was sentenced to death on Saturday by an Egyptian court for his role in a jail break along with many others.
