Winning the first democratic presidential elections in Egypt after the fall of President Hosni Mubarak, Mohammed Morsi, backed by the Muslim Brotherhood, seized absolute dictatorial powers by ramming down the people’s throat an Islamist constitution placing himself above the court and the law. His Islamist Constitution had immuned Morsi from any legal action during his term of office. His dictatorial abuse of power and the resulting economic crisis in Egypt drove millions of Egyptians to the streets and to Tahrir Square including those who supported him in his presidential campaign and who elected him as President.
