The Cairo Criminal Court adjourned to June 22 the trial of deposed president Mohamed Morsi and 14 co-defendants of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood leaders over charges of inciting the killing of peaceful protesters outside Ittihadiya presidential palace in December 2012.
The court postponed the hearing to continue hearing the testimonies of witnesses for the prosecution and relatives of the victims.
Clashes broke out outside Ittihadiya Palace when Morsi issued a controversial constitutional declaration immunizing his decisions against challenge.
Morsi and his co-defendants – including several top Muslim Brotherhood leaders – are charged with inciting the murder of opposition demonstrators during clashes that broke out between Morsi's supporters and opponents outside Cairo's Ittihadiya presidential palace in late 2012.
Seven of the defendants are being tried in absentia.
