Prosecutor decided to submit to a process along with 14
other members of the Muslim Brotherhood. The wave of decisions affecting the
Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt seems unstoppable. Withholding successive leaders
of the movement that ruled Egypt with Mohamed Mursi in the lead up to the July
3, when they were driven from power by a coup, joined this Sunday (01.09.2013)
the decision of a prosecutor to submit suing the former president.
Mursi was accused of
committing and inciting violence by the prosecutor Herham Barakat, who is also
the former head of state led 14 other members of the Muslim Brotherhood to a
Cairo criminal court on charges of "committing acts of inciting violence
and killing and bullying, "according to Egyptian state news agency.
These charges relate to the acts of violence that occurred
in December 2012 when the opposition took in Cairo against the Islamic regime,
after Mursi ignited the wrath of the citizenry to extend its powers. The start
date of the trial of Mursi has not yet been decided. Other accusations Mursi
also being investigated for his escape from prison during the uprising of 2011
cotra Hosni Mubarak, as well as against him for murder and conspiracy charges
with the group Palestinian Hamas during that escape from prison, although in
that case no formal charges have been filed so far.
Mursi, the first democratically elected president in Egypt,
replaced after a short transition to Hosni Mubarak, who left his post after the
protests staged in the context of the "Arab Spring". No embago,
lasted just over a year in office until he was removed from office by the military,
who have since launched a fierce repression against the Muslim Brotherhood.
Security forces have also killed hundreds of supporters of Mursi during
protests arising from its fall.
In turn, the
government accused the Brotherhood of committing acts of violence. About 100
members of the security forces have died since August 14, when police used
force to break up protest camps pro Mursi in Cairo.
