528 egípcios condenados à morte, num só dia

The most senior leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammed Badie, is to appear in court with more than 680 others charged with incitement to kill. Tuesday's mass trial comes a day after an Egyptian court sentenced 528 supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi to death. They were convicted on charges including murdering a policeman and attacks on people and property. Egyptian authorities have cracked down on the Muslim Brotherhood. Hundreds have been killed and thousands arrested. Mohammed Badie, the Muslim Brotherhood's general guide, was seized along with other Brotherhood figures after the Egyptian army ousted Mr Morsi last July. The army stepped in after months of street protests against Mr Morsi - Egypt's first democratically elected leader. Mr Badie and others face charges of inciting violence and murder over the deaths of eight anti-Brotherhood protesters outside the movement's headquarters in Cairo last year. Following Mr Morsi's removal from office the Brotherhood set up protest camps in Cairo, at which Mr Badie was a prominent figure.
