| This is from August 4 so just a brief reminder here: trial and festivities start Sunday. |
An Egyptian court on Sunday set an August 25 trial date for the Muslim BrotherhoodÂ’s supreme leader, Mohammed Badie, and five other members of the Islamist movement, over their alleged involvement in the deaths of protesters.
Supreme Guide Mohammed Badie, who is currently in hiding, and his two deputies – Khairat al-Shater and Rashad Bayoumi – who are being held in Cairo's Tora prison, are accused of inciting violence against protesters outside the Islamist group's headquarters on June 30. They will face trial on August 25 together with three Brotherhood members who are accused of killing protesters. |
