Badie, Shater trial set for August 25
The Cairo Appeals Court has set the trial of six Muslim Brotherhood leaders, including Supreme Guide Mohamed Badie and his deputy, Khairat al-Shater, for August 25, MENA reported. The defendants are accused of murder and inciting the killing of protesters in front of the group’s headquarters in Moqattam on June 30.
Badie, Shater, and Mohamed Rashad Bayoumi, another Brotherhood leader, are accused of conspiring with and inciting the three other defendants and other unidentified assailants to kill protesters. They are also charged with possession of explosives, rifles, and other weapons.
The defendants will stand trial at the South Cairo Criminal Court, which is also due to hear the trial of 29 people on charges of terrorizing residents of Moqattam using firearms and white weapons.
