Question for written answer
E-004235/14 to the Commission.Marc Tarabella (S&D), Franco Frigo
(S&D) and Jean Louis Cottigny (S&D)
(4 April 2014)
Subject: Muslim Brotherhood — Egypt
On Monday, 24 March, an Egyptian court sentenced to death hundreds of adherents of Mohamed Morsi (the ousted ex-President).
In relation to this historic judgment, Gamal Eid, a
legal expert and head of the Arabic Network for Human Rights
Information, has deplored ‘a disaster, a masquerade and a scandal which
will affect Egypt for years’.
What is the Commission’s reaction to this case?
Answer given by High Representative/Vice-President Ashton on behalf of the Commission
(11 June 2014)
The HR/VP expressed utmost concern by the EU regarding the news of the mass death sentence issued by a criminal court in Minya in upper Egypt in a statement issued on 24 March. These concerns were firmly reiterated by the HR/VP during her face-to-face meeting with the Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmi in Brussels on 31 March, as well as during meetings with all the relevant authorities in the course of her mission to Cairo between 9 and 11 April.
The EU also deplores the lack of due process in the two-day summary proceedings in which the defendants were tried as a group rather than on the merits of individual cases, against the most basic standards of justice. The EU further believes that capital punishment can never be justified, and that a fair trial must always be ensured, as well as adequate detention conditions.
The EU is closely following up this case in Cairo, asking the interim authorities to undertake all the necessary steps to guarantee a fair trial based on clear charges and proper and independent investigations, as well as the right of access and contact to lawyers and family members.

The
Grand Mufti of Sarajevo, Mustafa Ceric, projects the image of an open
man. He has participated in numerous events involving “dialogue between
cultures”, more particularly with Simone Veil in 2010, at UNESCO
headquarters. In 2003, he received the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Peace
Prize awarded by UNESCO, and in 2012, he participated along with Manuel
Valls in the inauguration of Strasbourg Mosque.
Yet, he is also a prominent member of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose ideas he shares and disseminates.
After
a stint at Al Azhar University, Mustafa Ceric received a doctorate from
the University of Chicago in tribute to his work: “Roots of Synthetic
Theology in Islam”, a book about Abu Mansur Al-Maturidi, an important
theologian buried in Samarkand in the 10th century.
During
his studies, he became an imam and established relationships with US
politicians who saw him as “politically liberal”. This did not prevent
him from sharing a forum in 1993 with Hassan al-Turabi who was then
offering hospitality to Osama bin Laden. Mustafa Ceric is also connected
to Omar Abdel Rahman who planned several attacks in New York.
When
5000 Islamic radicals settled in Bosnia during the nineties, Mustafa
Ceric welcomed them and even worked on their naturalization. He called
to halt any proceedings against them for war crimes attributed to them
(execution of 40 Serbian soldiers).
The
main criticism directed at Mustafa Ceric by Bosnia’s Muslims is that he
denigrated the “old” Muslims who failed to resist against the genocide
and supported the “new” ones who came from Afghan and Algerian maquis in
order to defend them. When asked about their radicalism, Mustafa Ceric
immediately stands up for them.
“Those
who say that the “new” Muslims are liable for their bad situation
associate themselves with Islamophobia against us, Bosnian Muslims, old
and new. They remind us of the genocide which we survived “(February
2009).
Mustafa
Ceric is a member of the European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR)
which aims, under the leadership of Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, to spread Muslim
Brotherhood’s political Islam among European Muslims.
In 2008, he publicly voiced his support to Regep Tayyip Erdogan: “Turkey is our mother. It has always been, and will always be.”
On
15 August 2009, Ceric asked that the Sharia law be included in the
Bosnian Constitution, while recalling that he was proud that “the
Balkans had converted the Slavic Christian population to Islam over six
centuries”.
In December 2010, he was invited to Islamabad at a conference on Halal (Global Halal Congress), and then declared that Muslims should “conquer the world through a Halal movement”, without offering more details on the subject.
