Obama Admin Asks Egyptian Military to Free Morsi

Obama Admin Asks Egyptian Military to Free Morsi: On July 12, the Obama administration asked the Egyptian military to free deposed president Mohammed Morsi. According to AFP, Egypt's interim government claims to be holding Morsi in a "safe place," but the U.S. believes Morsi should be released.

State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said, "We've expressed concerns from the beginning... about his arrest, about the politically motivated arbitrary arrests of Muslim Brotherhood members... We still continue to view these as politically motivated arrests, and still continue to believe that they should be released."
