CAIRO: The trial of the Muslim Brotherhood chief and his deputies on charges related to protest deaths will resume on December 11, judicial sources said yesterday, after the previous judges withdrew.
The three judges who had presided over the trial of Mohamed Badie and 34 co-defendants, including his two deputies, recused themselves on October 29 for what they said were “reasons of conscience”.
Badie and his two deputies, Khairat Al Shater and Rashad Al Bayoumi, face charges of inciting the murders of nine protesters who stormed the Brotherhood’s Cairo headquarters on June 30.
If found guilty, they could face the death penalty.
