The trial of the supreme guide of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and two of his deputies on charges of inciting violence started in their absence as the Islamist group faces its toughest crackdown in over three decades.
In a separate case, former ruler Hosni Mubarak appeared in the court to answer charges relating to his alleged role in the death of protesters in 2011, when a mass uprising led to his ouster and opened the door for the Brotherhood’s rise to power and subsequent fall with the deposing of President Mohamed Mursi.
