Court resumes trial of Brotherhood figures over violence outside MB headquarters

Cairo Criminal Court resumed on Thursday the trial of 17 Muslim Brotherhood members over charges of killing and inciting murder of protesters outside the group's headquarters during the 30 June uprising.

The suspects include Mohamed Badie, the group’s supreme guide, his deputies Khairat al-Shater and Rashad Bayyoumi, Freedom and Justice Party Chief Saad al-Katatny, former supreme guide Mohamed Mahdi Akef, Brotherhood figures Essam al-Erian and Mohamed al-Beltagy, as well as others.

The case was earlier postponed upon requests of the plaintiff’s lawyers to include medical reports of the victims as evidence, a request by the defense to review the evidence and to install equipment needed to screen the videos of the events.
