The UN human rights office has called for an “independent inquiry” into the death of former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, who was hastily buried on Tuesday just hours after he collapsed in a Cairo courtroom and died.
“Any sudden death in custody must be followed by a prompt, impartial, thorough and transparent investigation carried out by an independent body to clarify the cause of death,” said Rupert Colville, spokesman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
