Egypt's deposed Morsi arrives for third court appearance
Mohamed Morsi and 14 co-defendants face trial on charges of inciting murder and violence outside Ittihadiya Presidential Palace, December 2012
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 01 - 02 - 2014

Deposed president Mohamed Morsi arrived early Saturday to New Cairo's Police Academy where he is being tried, along with 14 others, on charges of inciting murder.
The last session of the case, 8 January, was adjourned to 1 February as Morsi couldn't be transferred to the courthouse in a helicopter due to “bad weather conditions.”
This is the third court appearance for Morsi, who remains without a lawyer and refuses to acknowledge the authority of the court.
However, on Tuesday, in a separate trial on charges of jail breaking, Morsi appointed Islamist thinker Mohamed Selim El-Awa as his defence lawyer in that case only.
Morsi and 14 co-defendants face trial on charges of inciting murder and violence outside the IttihadiyaPresidential Palace in December 2012, when thousands of his supporters attacked a small opposition sit-in staged to protest a constitutional declaration issued by Morsi granting himself exceptional powers.
The ensuing clashes led to the deaths of nine.
Morsi's co-defendants, seven of whom are being tried in absentia, include prominent Muslim Brotherhood members Mohamed El-Beltagy and Essam El-Erian, as well as several Morsi aides and other well-known Islamist preachers and activists.
The first session, which took place in November, marked the first time Egyptians and the world saw Morsi since he was ousted from power in July.
In the first court session, Morsi attempted to disrupt the proceedings by insisting he was still the legitimate president and denounced the trial as a farce. Morsi's co-defendants also condemned the army and chanted against the judiciary.
The Brotherhood-led National Coalition to Support Legitimacy has said it does not recognise the legitimacy of the trial, claiming an “illegitimate authority” has kidnapped Morsi.
Morsi was removed from office by the military 3 July after millions of Egyptians called for his overthrow in mass protests.
