Suez Military Court Monday adjourned the trial of Mohammed Badie, the former supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, and 198 others over violence acts in the Suez governorate to March 22. The court, held in Third Field Army's headquarters, postponed the trial session because not all the defendant could appear before the court for security reasons. The security forces in Suez managed to transfer only 54 out of 199 defendants from Ataqa prison to the headquarters of the court. Other defendants in the case include leading Brotherhood figures Mohamed El-Beltagy and Safwat Hegazi. In the case, the military prosecution had charged the defendants with killing 35 people and deliberately setting fire to public and private properties in Suez amid violence erupted nationwide, following the forceful dispersal of Rabaa and Nahda sit-ins on 14 August, 2013 supporting ousted president Mohamed Morsi. Since then, thousands of members and supporters of the Brotherhood have been arrested for several violence charges and are currently facing trials.
