Egypt’s government is taking the United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights to task for demanding an independent judicial inquiry into the circumstances of Mohamed Moursi imprisonment during the six years since he was deposed.

International lawyers have said chronically ill Moursi’s condition  was not adequately treated in solitary confinement and he was denied proper access to family and lawyers.
