The Sunday trial of deposed president Mohamed Morsi and many high-ranking Muslim Brotherhood leaders for inciting the killing of protesters has been delayed to Tuesday due to poor weather in the capital. A dust storm in the Cairo area made transporting Morsi to the Police Academy in the Fifth Settlement impossible, according to Aswat Masraya—a news site run by Reuters. Morsi and his Brotherhood co-defendants—who include Essam El-Erian, Mohamed El-Beltagy and 12 others—are facing trial for ordering the killing of protesters outside the Presidential Palace during violent demonstrations in December 2012. Morsi is also the co-defendant in three other trials: insulting the judiciary, escaping from prison during the 25 January Revolution, and for espionage for working with foreign Islamist groups to create chaos in Egypt. Morsi has been in custody since being ousted by the military on 3 July. Until his first appearance in court on 4 November, his place of detention was unknown.
