Egypt Opens Another Mass Trial Of Islamists | |
2014-03-26 | |
![]() The proceedings in Minya, south of Cairo, came a day after the same court handed down death sentences to nearly 530 suspected backers of ousted president Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... over a deadly attack on a cop shoppe.
The charges in Tuesday's proceedings also stemmed from rioting last August sparked by the security forces' storming of two Brotherhood sit-ins in Cairo that killed over 600 people. Only 68 of the 683 defendants were in the dock Tuesday. The rest are being tried in absentia. A handful of other defendants held in the case, including the Brotherhood's spiritual leader Mohammed Badei and other senior figures who are enjugged Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! in Cairo, were not present at the trial in Minya. Authorities cited security reasons for not bringing them to the hearings. | |
