Ousted Morsi rejects court's authority to try him
Egypt's deposed president Mohamed Morsi
has rejected the authority of the court to try him for inciting killings
of protesters, the Muslim Brotherhood said.
The movement said on its website that neither Egyptian nor foreign
lawyers would be defending Morsi, who ``does not recognise the trial or
any of the actions and processes that resulted from the coup, such as
the politicisation of the judiciary’’.
The statement charged that the Egyptian judiciary had become ``a means of repression and terror used by the coup regime against opponents’’
Morsi, a Muslim Brotherhood member and Egypt's first elected president after the ouster of former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak, was ousted by the military on July 3 amid massive protests against his one-year rule.
Morsi is to face court on November 4 along with 14 other senior Muslim Brotherhood figures.
