President Woodrow Wilson: Winning the War with Fourteen Points
Patti Rodriguez
Current Event
Recently in Egypt 529 people were sentenced to death in court.So many people were put to death because they had something to do with the killing of a police officer.It is said that they killed the police out of anger because of something the islamist president did.So many people being put to death caused crowds to protest around the courthouse.After the ruling they protested against military rule.It was also said that some schools closed down from fear of riots in the streets.The people of the city say that this was done so that the people do not rebel.”They want to scare us so we don’t go out into the streets against them.” Others are calling it “the harshest mass conviction” in modern egypts history.Not only that but people were also scared to share an opinion against the ruling in the courthouse.
Legal experts say that they’ve never seen anything so ridiculous.“We have never heard of anything of this magnitude before its quite ridiculous.” says one of them.Many of the legal experts do not believe that it was right to place such a sentence in only 2 trials.They don’t think it is fair at all.However some experts say the death sentences placed Monday will definitely be reduced. “Mindless repression still seems to be the order of the day.” is said in the article,meaning that the jury really had no opinion in it because they were scared.
In my opinion the ruling did not seem fair.I think this because of the comments quoted in the article.Also because it is nearly impossible to prove that 500 people planned to kill one person.Not all could have had a role in the killing of the police officer,thus i do not think they should all be sentenced to death.Unless proven I do not think the sentence should have been as harsh.If it was proven that they all played a role in the killing the sentence wouldn’t seem as harsh.I do not think all of these people deserved to be put to death just because they were protesting.
