Cairo Criminal Court will resume Tuesday, the trial of ousted president Mohamed Morsi as well as 10 other co-defendants over espionage with Qatar, Aswat Masriya News reported. The defendants, hailing from the now outlawed Muslim Brotherhood group, face charges of leaking military-linked classified documents to the gulf state, Qatar, which endangers the country's national security, judicial sources said. "Morsi and his co-defendants have hidden and leaked classified documents to a foreign state with the purpose of harming the country's (Egypt) military, political, economic and diplomatic status," the prosecution said. The Brotherhood was ousted, July 2013 amid mass street protests after a one-year long rule most of Egyptians considered full of sufferings. The group has been designated terrorist following a string of deadly blasts, mostly against the army and police in the restive Sinai, leaving a lot of bodies and blood.
