2013-10-30 | |
[Al Ahram] The judges presiding in an ongoing trial of Moslem Brüderbund spiritual leader Mohammed Badie and co-defendants on charges of incitement of murder have withdrawn from the case. The three judges from the South Cairo Criminal Court cited a conflict of interest as their reason for stepping down, without giving further details.
Nine protesters were killed and other 91 protesters were maimed when fights broke out after anti-Brotherhood protesters stormed the building. The South Cairo prosecution has referred six defendants to the criminal court for trial on the charges. The defendents include Mostafa Abdel-Azim, Mohammed Abdel-Azim and Atef Abdel-Galil. | |
