really quite the change of circumstance and also if we compare his funeral with the burial of mohammed morsi who of course collapsed in court and died afterwards he was a democratically elected president and yet we didn't see any of these sorts of scenes deadly quite the contrast and really quite the double standard morsi was a democratic democratically elected leader as you as you pointed out he only served one year of one term in office was forced out by the military in a in a coup d'etat was jailed on trumped up charges and then. was obviously essentially killed by the by the regime while while in detention and now the funeral of mubarak is essentially a $180.00 degree. difference from that and that you know the key difference here morsi democratically elected and an islamist someone who hailed from the muslim brotherhood and mubarak is a military man so at the end of the day did you. the military will honor its people even if they are corrupt dictators even if they presided over human rights atrocities for for 30 years we see. see there at the forefront of these per session how does his

to it it raised a lot of suspicion especially among morsy supporters have said that the charges against him were politically motivated. well mohamed el masry joins me now and said he is a professor at the doha institute for graduate studies who specializes in egyptian politics good to talk to you again from the discussions we've had with other analysts some people feel that mubarak's legacy is mixed that's not the case for you can you tell us why. i think the political science literature is pretty clear and i think the history books will be pretty clear on mubarak's legacy he was an authoritarian ruler he had as you mentioned in your lead up the emergency law enacted for 30 years he clamped down on all forms of political opposition he stifled dissent you know ran a singular narrative through his media apparatus imprisoned thousands of political opponents and was responsible for many killings as well politically motivated killings so there's no question that he was a dictator i don't think it's a you know a mixed bag i think the reason why some people are saying that today is because they're viewing mubarak through this comparative
