BERLIN, July 12 (KUNA) -- The German government called here on Friday for
Egypt's ousted president Mohamed Morsi to be set free, considering that the
detention of an elected president in Egypt would harm the country and its
future.
"We call for an end to the restrictions on Mr Morsi's whereabouts,"
Spokesman for the German Foreign Ministry Martin Schaefer said in news remarks.
Germany also called for giving an independent non-governmental organization
access to the ousted president's whereabouts.
The German move comes amid mounting tensions between supporters and
opponents over Morsi's overthrow.
The ousted Egyptian president was reportedly in a safe place and receiving
good treatment. (end) anj.mt
