The Muslim Brotherhood has described Mursi’s death as a “full-fledged murder” and called for mass gatherings to mark his passing. The streets of Egypt’s capital - where authorities have cracked down on Islamists since Mursi’s ousting - were quiet on Tuesday morning. Mursi died on Monday after collapsing in a Cairo court while on trial on espionage charges, authorities and a medical source said. Mursi’s death will increase international pressure on the Egyptian government over its human rights record, especially conditions in prisons where thousands of Islamists and secular activists are held. Turkey’s president, Qatar’s emir and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas all paid tribute to Mursi and Iran expressed regret over Mursi’s death.
