If you thought the daily clashes between pro-morsi and anti-morsi where dozens of people die was the height then you need to pause.Mohammed Morsi who was deposed on July 3rd is to go on trial for charges of inciting murder and violence.The charges relate to the deaths of at least seven people during
clashes between opposition protesters and Muslim Brotherhood supporters
outside a presidential palace in Cairo last year.Mr Morsi is also being investigated over allegations relating to his
escape from prison during the uprising that forced Hosni Mubarak from
power in 2011, including that he conspired with the Palestinian Islamist
militant group Hamas, an offshoot of the Brotherhood.He is also reportedly suspected of having insulted the
judiciary by accusing it of helping Mr Mubarak rig the 2005
parliamentary elections.Mr Morsi will stand trial with 14 other senior figures from the Brotherhood. He has been detained at a secret location since being deposed. Hundreds of people demanding his reinstatement - mostly
Brotherhood supporters have since been killed in clashes with security
forces.More than 50 died at protests held in several cities just this Sunday and the clashes haven't stopped.It is also not news that Hosni Mubarak who happens to be Morsi's predecessor is also on trial for the killing of 900 protesters during the 2011 uprising that led to his removal in Egypt.
