Court suspends trial of Morsi over Ittihadiya

Cairo Criminal Court suspended on Thursday the trial of Mohamed Morsi and 14 other defendants over charges of killing protesters outside Ittihadiya Palace until the recusal motion filed against the judge panel is settled. The defendants' lawyers asked for recusing the court panel. The defendants, all leaders and members of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood, face charges of inciting the killing of peaceful protesters outside the presidential palace in Heliopolis on December in 2012 in light of protests against a constitutional decree issued by Morsi that gave him sweeping powers. Morsi is also being tried in two other cases related to espionage and jailbreak charges. Source: MENA
