Egypt's Morsi 'To Stand Trial Over Deaths'
 [NEWS.SKY] Egypt's ousted president Mohamed Morsi will reportedly stand trial on charges of committing and inciting deadly violence.The country's state news agency said public prosecutor Hesham Barakat had referred Mr Morsi and 14 other members of his Moslem Brüderbund to a Cairo criminal court. He will stand trial accused "of committing acts of violence and inciting the killing and thuggery", the agency reported. It follows deadly street festivities outside the presidential palace in December 2012, involving his supporters and those who opposed his rule. Mr Morsi, who became Egypt's first democratically elected president, was removed from office in July. Since then, the military-backed government of General Abdel Fatah al Sisi has cracked down on members of the Brotherhood. Posted by: Fred 2013-09-02 |
