One of the four trials against ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi has resumed in the capital, Cairo.<\/span>
Mr Morsi reportedly turned his back on the judges, as he stood inside a soundproofed glass box at the hearing.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He and 14 other figures from the Muslim Brotherhood are charged with inciting the killing of protesters near the presidential palace in 2012.<\/span>
The trial was reopened and adjourned until Tuesday, Egyptian state television reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

Various charges<\/strong><\/span>
At a hearing in another trial last week, a defiant Mr Morsi shouted that he was still the country’s legitimate president.<\/span>
He was deposed by the army last year after huge crowds rallied against him.<\/span>
He is now facing four separate criminal trials on various charges. They are:<\/span>
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Inciting supporters to commit violence and murder as they tried to break up an opposition protest in Cairo in December 2012<\/span>
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Conspiring with foreign organisations to commit terrorist acts, with prosecutors accusing Mr Morsi of forming an alliance with the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Lebanon’s Hezbollah<\/span>
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Murdering prison officers in a jailbreak in 2011 during the uprising against the then-President Hosni Mubarak<\/span>
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Insulting the judiciary<\/span>
Mr Morsi’s Islamist supporters say the charges are politically motivated. Officials insist the trials are free and fair.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Kept in a dump’<\/strong><\/span>
The former president was flown in by helicopter on Saturday morning from his prison in Alexandria.<\/span>
Mr Morsi and other defendants were kept inside the glass box during the trial to avoid disruptions.<\/span>
The state-run Nile News TV channel said the trial had been adjourned to 4 February.<\/span>
Heavy security was deployed outside the National Police Academy complex where the hearing took place.<\/span>
Protesters attacked the car of Mr Morsi’s lawyer to prevent him from driving into the compound.<\/span>
On Friday, riot police fired tear gas at hundreds of Morsi supporters in Cairo and Alexandria and Fayoum, south of the capital.<\/span>
Islamists have staged regular protests demanding Mr Morsis’s reinstatement, but have been met with a heavy crackdown in which hundreds have died.<\/span>
The Muslim Brotherhood has been declared a terrorist organisation and authorities have punished any public showing of support for it.<\/span>
Human rights groups have dismissed some of the allegations against Mr Morsi as preposterous.<\/span>
There were chaotic scenes when he first appeared in court in early November for the trial that resumed on Saturday.<\/span>
Mr Morsi chanted slogans against the current government and the court. He also refused to recognise the court’s legitimacy or put on the required prison uniform.<\/span>
Last Tuesday, Mr Morsi appeared in court at the beginning of a trial over his escape from prison in 2011.<\/span>
He was accused of organising a mass breakout from the Wadi al-Natrun prison during the uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak, as well as the murder of prison officers.<\/span>
During that court appearance, from inside a glassed-in defendants’ cage, he shouted: “I am the president of the republic. How can I be kept in a dump for weeks?”<\/span>
Although Mr Morsi won the presidency in a democratic election, he fell out with key institutions during his 13 months in power.<\/span>
The interim government has since cracked down on the Muslim Brotherhood, arresting thousands of members. At least one thousand people have been killed in clashes with security forces.<\/span><\/p>\n
