[An Nahar] The United States on Friday urged the Egyptian military and interim leaders to free deposed president Mohammed Morsi for the first time since he was placed in durance vile
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
over a week ago.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the United States agreed with Germany's earlier appeal for Morsi to be released and was "publicly" making the same request.
Morsi has been held in a "safe place," according to the interim leaders, and has not been seen in public since being ousted on July 3.
In past days, while condemning arbitrary arrests, Psaki had refused to say whether the U.S. administration believed Morsi should be freed.
Psaki said she was making the call for Morsi's release "today, publicly," but refused to say what had determined the U.S. change of stance. |
